Answer:
At the cost of the friendship with his friends and family
Explanation:
A proper theme of the story from the excerpt is that winning is not everything. Barry resorted to dubious ways to win the board games. His love for winning made him do many bad things just to win. These included stealing from the bank, cheating in the game by skipping spaces when moving around the board, and shortchanging others of their money.
He was warned by his friends to desist from such acts but he simply refused. In time they all stopped playing with him. So, Barry's love for winning overshadowed him and made him sacrifice his friendship with his friends and family.
Alan does not enjoy participating in school concerts or sports events as he is very shy. He feels as though he will look silly or do something silly. I am the same. I do not enjoy being on stage or taking part in sports events. I feel as though I am the person that will trip over my feet and everyone will laugh at me. I have taken part in our class plays. Everyone in the class had to participate. My teacher understood that I am very shy and she did not give me a part where I had to speak or sing by myself. I would like to become more confident and be able to participate in public events without feeling like an idiot.
