Week 14 story Jataka Tales Part E

Defeating The King of Death: i haven't even read this story, but I hope it will be an epic one! I have been reading a lot of these Jataka Tales, but none of them have caught my eye like this one. The title sounds crazy. Well that wan't what I was hoping for at all. This story was pretty boring. All that happened was the evil king dies and everyone is happy that he is dead. They make sure he can't be reincarnated by burning his body with 1000 cart loads of wood. Then they was his body away and dig the whole area out. They must have all hated him terribly. It seems that reincarnation is something that everyone goes through. I just find it funny that somehow people are able to keep people from being reincarnated. That is kind of weird that mere mortals could take away someones who life. That seems like something a god would be able to do not just a person!










A king of death!

Even though I spend a lot of my time reading and watching sports, I like the strategies that go into sports and the data behind decisions. A quick example is how the NBA is going toward more 3's and layups/dunks because from an efficiency stand point they are the best shots to take. The sport I like more than the NBA is football. The NFL is the superior football league compared to college. Many people enjoy college football mo

Week 2 Story: The Clown

Marty was just your average 10th grade boy. He loved sports, movies and video games. His favorite hobby though was reading. He had just gotten into horror books. The first one he read was IT by Stephen King. It was really creepy, but Marty knew he would never get over his fear of clowns if he hid from them forever. Unfortunately, for Marty the book did nothing but scare him more. Every night Marty had to walk his dog as one of his chores or else he would not get a car for his 16th birthday. When he was walking his dog he saw something out of the corner of his eye. It was a figure hiding in the trees. He looked and for sure it had to have been a clown! The white makeup, the red honky nose and the creepy eyes gave it away in an instant. Marty sprinted home with his dog gleefully running alongside him with no idea anything bad was happening. As soon as Marty was in the safety of his own home he quickly got onto Twitter and sent out a tweet of what he had seen. Within minuets he has thousa
