The Interlopers Luck Essay

575 Words3 Pages

Argumentative Essay Have you ever thought that something happen for a reason or was it just luck? Sometimes things happen because of luck like winning the lottery and finding treasure. Do these things really happen by luck? Maybe these people researched the most commonly drawn numbers in the lottery or they bought the proper equipment to go looking for treasure. In the story The Interlopers luck and decisions both played a large role. The two men in the story just happen to find each other when they went around that beech nut tree. The other reason why it shows luck in it is because the tree fell on both of them but did not end up killing either of them and it left them to talk it out to decide to get the groups together.” A fierce shriek …show more content…

The ladies husband just had enough money to get her a dress which was the exact amount he had been saving up to buy him a gun. The other reason why it shows luck in it is they found a actual diamond necklace that looked just like the fake one. They also made some bad choices in the story like when they lied to her friend and got her another necklace. The hard work for ten years paying off that necklace happen for a reason probably because they lied. “ You must write to your friend,” he said,” and tell her that you’ve broken the clasp of her necklace and are getting it mended. That will give us time to look about us.” I wrote this to show the difference between luck and choices in the stories. I think The Interlopers is more of luck because of them being by that tree at the same time and them being able to talk to each other when the tree fell on them. I think The Necklace is more of choices because they chose not to tell her friend about them losing the necklace and that came back on them by having to spend ten years working hard paying off a actual diamond necklace. I think in real life choices happen more often than luck because your choices will kindof determine who you are and where you go in

The societal circumstances in the 1960s that prompted Hinton to write The Outsiders was the social revolution which the Civil Rights movement, LGBT movements, and the radical movements of the student activists. The Civil Rights movement began in the 1960s; the leader of the Congress on Racial Equality launched Freedom Rides to integrate interstate buses and the volunteers rode the buses into Deep South where they faced violence which includes bombings and beatings in Anniston Alabama (History.com Staff). Because of the racial segregation that was going on, that might have influence Hinton to write the book due to the fact that the Black race felt like they were an outsider and had a wall between them and the the rest of the society.

Though, there are many defining moments in my life that have shaped the person I have become. One good example would be my deciding to switch schools at the end of sixth grade, thus expanding the range of people I knew, as well as severely altering my outlook on my hometown. The beginner’s luck I’ve had in my life has been slim, and I find that I have always had to work very hard to become better at things, regardless of the fact that the universe was supposedly trying to help me, though I do know that I have always been good at reading. I remember figuring out how to read before the time I was three, first beginning with The Very Hungry Caterpillar, then moving on to the entirety of the Harry Potter Series. I’m not sure if this fully would count as “luck” perse, though I am very grateful to have learned how to read at the time I did.
