IT Emergency Lesson 4: Gambling

1)For Lottery , do an analysis of 100 words in which you look at Ah Boh's superstitions regarding gambling.

I think Ah Boh's superstitions regarding gambling are too unrealistic, as nobody can win a prize lottery by just begging God to help them, and promising what they want to do if they win. They feel that, if they told God this, God would help them to win so that they can carry out the things they promised. But in fact, they just told God this and if they really strike Four-Digits or Toto, it would be their luck instead of God helping them. But they would feel that it was God that helped them, and instead of using their money to carry out the things they have promised, they would use the money to do more gambling and would pray harder than ever to God for them to strike Four-Digits or Toto another time.

2)For The Rocking Horse Winner, write a paragraph of 100 words in which you point out who was responsible for Paul's death.

I think the person who was responsible for Paul's death is his uncle, Uncle Oscar and Bassett. I think they are responsible because they never stopped Paul from gambling on the Horse Racing, but yet they continued to encourage him, and Uncle Oscar even brought Paul to the stadium to watch Horse Racing with him, and helped him to buy whatever Horse he betted on, and soon, Paul became addicted to Horse Racing gambling but everytime he knew which horse would come in first, and he would bet on that horse. And sure enough, that horse would win. But soon his mother found out that he was possessed with Horse Racing gambling, and one day found out that he was actually riding his toy horse and he woudl shout out the name of the horse that would win. And the next day he told his mother that he was very lucky and when his mother claimed that she did not know about him being lucky, he went grievous and I think he commited suicide.
