Luck.

1. (Definition) Luck is a force that causes either good or bad things to happen in someones life. It's a combination of circumstances and events that together bring good or ill fortune to someone. The idea of luck is occasionally scoffed at. It goes with ideas like superstitions, not everyone is a believer. But whether or not luck exists there are some occasions that can't be described anything less than lucky.

2. (Narration) It was dust as my mom and I exited Cost World Market, and interesting store filled with unique knick knacks. I was lagging behind my mom as we walked to the car. I noticed something on the ground, flapping in the wind. My mom walked right past it but I stopped to see what it was. Two twenty dollar bills had been dropped on the ground. I picked them up and marveled at my find. Filled with glee, I skipped to the car to show of my treasure to my mom. It was my lucky day.

3. (Classification/Division) There is good luck and then there is bad luck. Good luck is finding five dollars on the ground. Bad luck is finding five dollars on the ground and then discovering that same bill was used to pick up dog poop. Everyone has moments of good luck along with moments of bad. A good quote to remember is "This to shall pass..." In the moments of good luck it keeps us humble and when you are beginning to think the day couldn't get any worse it reminds us that there are better days to come.

Do you know what movie this is from? In this movie someone definitely finds money with dog poop in it... Am I completely original? No. I steal ideas from great movies with Lindsay Lohan in them :) 

4. (Description) Perfect ringlets hang from her heart shaped head. She jumps in to the taxi that was stopped right outside her door. Even though she ends up getting to work 30 minutes late she doesn't get in trouble because as it happened her boss is running behind 45 minutes. Unfortunately she forgot her co workers birthday but just happened to have the perfect gift in her desk that she was able to give instead. Nothing could stop her today.

5. (Comparison/Contrast) Luck and karma are both concepts that not everyone believes in and both have mystery behind them but they aren't exactly the same thing. Karma is the idea that if you do good things good thing will happen to you. But if you do bad thing than bad things will happen to you. With luck if you have good luck it doesn't necessarily mean you did anything good to deserve it and vice versa with bad luck. Karma is, in some ways, a more comforting idea. Because with karma you are able to have more control  of what happens to you while with luck you are just stuck with whatever comes your way.

6. (Example) J.K. Rowling examines the idea of luck by creating a potion called "Felix felicis" that is introduced during the six Harry Potter book. When someone takes a sip of potion they will have good luck until the affects where off.  When Harry is under the affects of the potion he knows just where to go and what to say to get what he wants. During the battle at Hogwarts Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and the rest of the gang that take a sip miraculously miss all of the curses that are being targeted at them.

Well I thought I was using the color "aqua" which I was happy about since it sounds cool but I am not. This is just blue. And it turns out aqua is a really light color and I don't really want to use it anyway. But congrats you all did great at guessing, I am proud of you all (not saying I didn't think you were smart enough to get them right just that I don't know if I would get them all right...).
