In our next novel (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer), we are introduced to a society that holds a lot of superstitions. A superstition is “any belief or practice that is considered irrational or supernatural: for example, if it arises from ignorance, a misunderstanding of science or causality, a positive belief in fate or magic, or fear of that which is unknown.” For instance, the main character in this story, Tom, believes that Fridays are bad luck. Do you consider yourself (or do you know anyone who is) superstitious in any aspect of life? What superstitions exist in our society today?

I do not know of any superstitions in our society, but I have a friend who believes in aliens, the reason I don't believe in aliens is because God made one world for his people to survive on, and in the bible it says nothing about aliens or any crazy superstitions.

I do believe in superstition and I think God works through it.

I do consider myself to be slightly superstitious but only because I believe that miracles can happen and that things aren't always what they seem. Sometimes there are things that happen that we just can't explain but it seems that God is working behind the scenes. My dad is probably the most superstitious person in the family because he believes strange things about dreams.

Sometimes I feel superstitious. I fell that way by thinking that some things that are seen in dreams happen in real life. I also sometimes think that there are other places were exactly the same things is happening in my life. God has given people dreams and they have happened in real life.

I do not believe in superstitious because some of them don't even make sense. I also do not know anyone that believes in superstitious. Some people believe in ghosts which I think a lot of people in society believe that.
