Book: Holes

Stanley and his family half-jokingly blame their misfortunes on Stanley's "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather." Do you believe in fate — that people are lucky or unlucky — or do you believe, as Mr. Pendanski tells the boys, that we are all responsible for ourselves and our destinies?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Most curses aren't genuine, I believe that we are responsible for our own acts. Weakening our sense of self-judgment by blaming it only on a "cursed relative." As the popular adage goes, "Your life is in your hands; make of it what you want."

Explanation:

 

Answer 2

Answer:

Maybe, it depends.

Explanation:

Sometimes when you watch a movie, or read a story, some part of you feels like there are some people out there who can do things, like put curses on people.

Anyway, most of the time you cause your own problems.

A lonely immigrant from Austria slips out of her stage clothes and kicks off her heels. Carefully removing her movie makeup, she's dissatisfied that she's been overlooked for more significant roles. Instead of throwing a pity party, however, she heads determinedly for her drafting table, a place where she has previously invented an improved traffic stoplight. This is where she'll prove to the world that she's more than a pretty face. This is the real-life story of Hedy Lamarr, Hollywood actress turned tech hero. An inventor whose contributions helped develop a system used in Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi.She had a knack for designing problem-solving technologies. Transforming the drawing room in her house into an innovation studio with a drafting table and the necessary tools Lamarr invented an aid to help people with limited mobility get in and out of the bath. She also invented a fluorescent dog collar and a bouillon cube* that would dissolve to turn water into soda. Her best-known success was a passion project that still has applications today. The secret communication system" she developed with composer George Antheil, a neighbor and friend, was the precursor to today's top wireless technologies. Together, they developed a radio communication system based on the 88 piano keys. It was a success, and the duo received a patent for their work in 1942. Unfortunately, the U.S. Navy ignored their technological feat for another 20 years. Late, the system became the precursor to modern wireless technologies. Their work remained unrecognized until 1997, when the Electronic Frontier Foundation acknowledged Lamarr and Antheil. When Lamarr heard the EFF was giving her an award, her first words were, 'Well, it's about time.'
