Question

Book: Holes

Stanley and his family half-jokingly blame their misfortunes on Stanley's "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather." Do you believe in fate — that people are lucky or unlucky — or do you believe, as Mr. Pendanski tells the boys, that we are all responsible for ourselves and our destinies?

Answer 1

I believe that people can be lucky sometimes. But also, sometimes we aren’t responsible for ourself and our destinies. We don’t really have control of what the future has planned for us, except when we do something wrong that effects us in the future. My answer for this question is it depends.

Answer 2

Maybe, it depends.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about it, you read a story, or watch a movie and some part of you feels like there are people out there who do things, like put curses on people.

Anyway, the stuff you do has impacts on your life. Most of the time, you cause your own problems.
