Examples of this are: &# 61623; The coincidenc...

Playing With Fate Supposed To Happen Family
678 wordsThe story The Monkeys Paw shows how playing with fate can result in harmful doings. This book also has many examples of foreshadowing that the White family refused to recognize. I personally believe that there is no plan set out for our lives, I think that whatever happens, happens, and there is no reason for its occurrence. I think that higher beings set choices for us along the way, but there is no right and no wrong decision. In this story I believe that the family did believe in fate but the...
