Anticipation Guide "The Pearl" Prompts

1. Family is the most important thing in life.

1. I agree with this statement. Family is the most important thins in our lives because they are helping you grow up by giving you the standards that they think are right. They help you become a good person in the society and until you become an adult by supporting you economically and psychologically. Your family will always be there for you to listen to you and advise you. Also their beliefs and way of thinking influences dramatically your way of thinking. Even when we grow up and we have our own family and friends we will always feel connected with our family.


2. Sometimes winning the lottery is a bad thing.

2. I agree that winning the lottery sometimes is a bad thing. For example an alcoholic, drug dealer might win 1 million; well that’s not a good thing. It will make the persons condition even worse. But if a good and decent man not so rich that works all day to feed his kids, then he wins 1 million and he becomes not so interested in his decent job or his family. Then still that’s changing a person’s life into something that’s not so decent. What is anyone going to do with so much money that they didn’t even earn with their sweat? Too much money can change you in a bad way, being greedy, self-centered, and careless.

3. Our lives are ruled by fate. No matter what decisions we take, our lives are already planned for us.

3. I think I agree with this statement. I believe that we all have a destiny and we came here to learn some things, to meet the people we have to meet, and to make the decisions that we should make. But we are not the ones controlling what happens. God has his little plan for us and we are in it no matter what we do. Some decisions are going to change us, but we are suppose to make those decisions, and each time we follow our heart and not our mind or the opposite, well that’s what we were suppose to follow after all. Either if that is our heart or our mind. Some of our actions which are bad for us, are really happening to we could learn something out of it.
