Triumph in the Face of Adversity

This picture represent this theme real well because not one single person had Butler playing for the National Championship let alone coming one shot away from winning the championship.

I think Triumph in the Face of Adversity is when nobody is on your side and everybody says you can't achieve your dreams. You decide not to listen to everybody else and try your hardest to be the best you can. Since you have tried your hardest you are triumphant even though you may not win you still proved yourself worthy of winning. And if you do win that is even a greater feeling because you proved to everyone that they were wrong about you and you can achieve your dreams. In the play Tillie is able to go in front of everybody and present her project even though they laughed at her. Beatrice on the other hand doesn't have triumph in the face of adversity because she let the bad luck in her life discourage and defeat her.
