The story itself is quite nice and insightful as a very touching comparison between Lincoln and Ruth. I give you many props for that.

But I gotta tell you something I just realized about Making the Case, I found out that there is a reason to think that Lincoln may not have felt outclassed at all by his sisters. How can this be? That's because if he hadn't deleted the video, Lincoln would've won the contest and gotten his trophy. Think about it, while Lincoln's actions may have been deplorable, they still managed to get him in first place in the video contest by a huge margin. That means that Lincoln most certainly did have the ability to win something and he practically did win this contest. He had victory and glory all within his grasp and all he had to do was sit back and he'd get everything he wanted. That right there shows that Lincoln most certainly does have a talent; he only needed to use it in a more acceptable and honorable manner. The only thing that kept him from securing it is the shame he would've felt from his sisters. That's why he willingly made that sacrifice to give up the trophy he earned all so he could restore his honor. For this reason, I'm beginning to seriously doubt that Lincoln was as desperate for the trophy as people say he was. Because true desperation is something that would've driven Lincoln to any and all means to get what he wanted with absolutely no qualms for any atrocity he'd have to commit in the process, and that is not what I saw with Lincoln's actions.

Other than that little spiel, this still is great on it's own! ;)
