The Rocking-Horse Winner

1.What is your point of view on "luck" in the story? what do you think it really means?

2. What do you think is the importance of the constant references to eyes?

1.  Luck is chance, in my eyes, and one has to be in the right place at the right time, etc., for it to happen.  Luck, to me, happens when you may not deserve it or expect it, whether it is bad luck or good luck.

2.  The eyes are the windows to the soul, as the saying goes.  They can often reveal if people are telling the truth or lying,  what kind of mood they are in at a given time, and if they are sick/ill.
