In the chapter “Half and Half” from the novel The Joy Luck Club, author Amy Tan’s character Rose Hsu Jordan says "I discovered that maybe it was fate all along, that faith was just an illusion that somehow you're in control" (121). Do you agree or disagree? Write a personal essay* in which you explain why, using examples from your experiences to illustrate your answer.
*a personal essay means you're actually allowed to use first person personal pronouns
