Tech Tip first Tweet

I have been a Twitter user since the 7th grade. Technically my account should get banned for being underage when I started it. I know a lot of people that have lost their accounts since they were too young when they made the account. I did create a new account for this assignment! I have since deleted my account because I was wasting too much time on twitter and not gaining anything from it. I did not use the group twitter account.

Writers Write Story Lab

I did the story lab from Writers Write. I feel like one of the problems I have is an overuse of the word very instead of finding more descriptive words. I would like to increase my vocabulary so I sound smarter. I like the quote by Mark Twain. He says to but the word damn everywhere you say very because an editor will delete it any way. This page was mostly full of adjectives to use instead of saying very small you could say tiny. I like this idea because it stops your writing from being clogged and makes you be a better writer. I have a hard time writing at too basic of a level and want to get better. Different words to use!

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! Bibliography:  Jataka Tales  H.T.
