  11. 1) i read the broken mirror, the black cat, and lots of good luck: the story was about a boy who doesnt believe in superstitions but that many thing happen to him an he start believe in, but then he discober that he had to be self-confident and to trust in his self again.
    2)well, i think that everyone have a reason to be supertisous an that the luck doesnet depends of anyone or anything..SELF-CONFIENT is your personal luck.
    3)mm anyone.. ther where all the superstitions that i ever know.
    4)mmmm...i think that the reason to be superstitious is ifferent in all the cases and we mayrespect that point....
    5)well..YES. i thinh that if im alone and i made a bad thing to an other person.. something bad is going to happen me alone.
    6)i think that the good luck does not depend os anybody and if someone have bad or good luck its because a good reason. it may have sense.
