The lake seems like the separation of the temple and world. The apprentice will not be influenced by the world if he just stays inside the temple, however, when he go outside, something will change him. It becomes the cause of the Karma and the story will keep going to see the result he gets. The first time he leaves the temple and torture the animals for fun, which caused the animals die. The second time he go out and see the mating of the snake, which caused him start thinking about sex and eventually having sex relationship with the girl outside the temple.

    The Joy of Stats Nishant Sinha Kennesaw Mountain High School The Joy of Stats One statistical trend I could identify from Dan Hillman’s film The Joy of Stats was the growing difference in the quality of life between eastern and western countries for a span of about 138 years, beginning in 1810. The primary cause of this trend was the industrialization of western countries such as England and the United States, leading to higher life expectancy and greater income (Mayr, 2017). Following the growth of the quality of life gap, a contradictory trend began in 1948 when the practice of colonialism ended. Since then the quality of life gap between eastern and western countries has been decreasing due to the increased export of valuable resources such as oil from developing countries (Hillman, director, 2010).…
