Wheel of Fortune One Letter - Caitlin Burke on Wheel of Fortune - Esquire



Сама по себе история как история - девочка угадала фразу с одной буквы. Заставляют задуматься вот эти фразы:

Sometimes, people who don't understand any better confuse the mundane with the divine, mistake hard work for lightning bolts. They couldn't pull off that same stunt, and so they convince themselves that nobody else could, either. Her brain can't possibly work that way, that fast. There's no way she solved that puzzle on her own. The game must be rigged.
Or Burke has a gift, and she improved it with study. She practiced. She found the little edges and secrets that make large-size success possible; she did every last bit of the math. She earned her way to her place behind the wheel, and then, on that fateful day, in that particular pattern of rectangles and lights, she saw all that she needed to beat it.

The truth is, she didn't even need the L.

For someone like Caitlin Burke, a tiny apostrophe is opening enough.
