The Rocking Horse Winner

"Nobody ever knows why one person is lucky and another is unlucky.'

This is what the woman told her child when he asked her why fathers unlucky. I think it is an interesting quote because it shows her opinion about money and luck. The woman is very obsessed with money. She always wants more money, but she never earn enough to satisfiy herself.

In the story, Paul asks his mother about relationship between luck and money. The woman answeres that money comes from luck. I am surprised that the little child concerned about money because I never understand things about money when I was that young. Paul's parents always wants more money and it affects their children, especially Paul, who is the oldest. I think the mood of the family influenced Pauls emotion and created an obsession of earning money by riding rocking horse.
Also, the interesting thing is how the woman think about luck and money. Sometimes, it is right to say money comes from luck, like the woman thinks. I think luck does not exist only for money. Even person has a lot of money, it does not mean that he or she is lucky if the person has unhappy life. In real life, there are many other things that come from luck, such as friends, good relationship between family members.
