The Rocking-Horse Winner

Do you agree or disagree with the saying “Money can’t buy happiness”? In “The Rocking-Horse Winner” D.H. Lawrence explores how the desire for money affects a family.

Think about these two questions and write your comments:

* Would your life be better if you had more material things?

* How would you define luck?

  1. I agree with the saying because there plenty of things that money can buy. For example, money can not buy love, health or peace. these three things are the most important ones in a human being´s life.
    My life would not change much if I had money. The only difference would be that I would buy thinks without paying attention to the prices, but apart from that the rest of my life would remain the same.
    I think that "Luck" has to do with good or bad fortune which happens beyond a person's control.

  2. I agree with gisela and with the saying. There are a lot of people that have plenty of money and all the same they are not happy. What is more, as Gisela said, money can't buy love, health and peace, which for me, are essential things for human life.
    I think that if I had more money my life wouldn't be better, we could buy more expensive things but we wouldn't be happier.

    I consider luck a difficult word to define, I think that you can be lucky in different aspects, every person can consider himself/herself lucky according to what being lucky means to them, you can be lucky according to love, money, health, it depends on you.
