Lucky Boy

What is luck, really? As I've grown older, I've learned to be more critical of the things that I've been told I'm “lucky” to have. Luck is contextual, and it is personal: what looks like a stroke of luck for you can be punishment for me, and what seems like misfortune for you can feel like liberation from my point of view. I thought if this idea of luck as I read about Ignacio's lot in this novel: is he lucky to have landed where he has, or is this the wrong twist of fate for him? We've all been told a narrative of luck in our lives by others; it's time for us to see if what seemed like luck was really good fortune after all.
