Better Luck Tomorrow

Vietnamese/Chinese New Year! The diversity of our country is surreal. No matter where each culture came from, they were able to bring their home to their new home – the United States. I was completely enamored with the Vietnamese/Chinese New Year celebration at the St. Andrew Dung Lac Catholic church’s event center, which also doubled as a Catholic bible school on Saturdays. The colors, the people, the food, music, and everything gave broaden my perspectives and experiences of other cultures. It…

Personal myth: Understanding the rollercoaster of life. The definition of karma according to Google is listed as follows: "(in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person 's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences." Informally as "destiny or fate, following as effect from cause." I find my personal beliefs to be a slight variation of this definition, something I 'm not sure I really want to believe, but over the course of my life so…

Moral luck occurs whenever luck makes a moral difference in two or more cases. The problem of moral luck arises from a conflict between the widely held intuition that moral luck should not occur in moral judgment with the fact that it is arguably impossible to prevent it from happening.

It was very ironic of him to say that because he meets plenty more bad luck. Another thing I noticed in this chapter was how my…

saying that one person 's fact is another person’s fiction and that a superstition should not be negative just because it stems from disagreements used as a negative term. It is not okay to laugh at someone for believing something that is wrong; it is better to show them the right way instead. That reason is why I want to classify a superstition as an action that people take, or a belief they hold, when they want to have an idea of what the future will…

The role of Manolin in relation to theme development is to highlight the old man's loneliness and want of friendship.

His constant want of the boy demonstrates his need for companionship and friendship. The age contrast between the two characters draws attention to their…
