the Roaring 20s The flappers were a great inspiration to all women around America.

Luck is defined as “The chance happening of fortunate or adverse events” or simply “fortune”. However in the Quote “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity”‚ the author leads us to believe otherwise.

“Luck” in the hobbit Luck plays a huge role in this novel because without luck Bilbo wouldn’t have survived many of the situations he got into. In my opinion‚ I think that Bilbo’s greatest weapon is luck and it proves very useful throughout his journey but it was not always good luck. Many of the situations that Bilbo and his friends got into would not have happened had it have not been for bad luck The first incident that I think was really impacted by luck‚ which in this case happened to be
