Superstition Homework

We talked about many superstitions in many countries, but do you think it is important to talk about them? Why?

I think that superstitions is sometiomes important because I should avoid the thing about life and death. I didn't know any supersitions, but I knew the superstition in many countries, also Japan by this presentation. If I talk with people of other countries, I can avoid bad superstitions. When I knew that Japanese people avoid the pronunciation of the letter accorded with an unlucky number, I was surprised it.

Is communication affected by superstitions?

I think that communication isn't affected by superstitions. I never talk with my friends about superstitions.

Do you believe in Japanese superstitions? If so, what superstitions, what do they mean and why do you do,use, or believe in them?

I don't believe some superstitions, but my parents believe them. For example, I cannot meet in the moment of death of my parents if I cut my nail at midnight. When I cut my nail at night, my parents stop me. I want to believe good superstitions. For example, a four-leaf clover and shooting star. If I find them, I believe that I am a lucky thing from now on.

I thought we shouldn't cut our nails at night because if we do, the white snakes will appear. I didn't know about yours. Anyway, I think the meaning of this superstitions are same. It was dangerous that we cut our nails at night because when the superstition was made, we didn't have enough light and the rooms were not light enough.
