For my extra reading I decided to do Jatakas Tales! I particularly like the "Guilty Dogs" story. I like this story because it is a common thing to blame someone who actually did not do the crime. I thought it was pretty true that the King ordered for all of the dogs that were not royal to be killed. Especially since the dogs that actually did it was the royal dogs. I am glad in the story someone actually spoke up and asked the King if his orders were just to the dogs that were actually innocent. The dogs that actually did the crime ended up getting caught anyways. I am a firm believer of what is done in the dark always come to the light . I think that is the moral of the story in this case. Im many situations that we face, we could apply this moral to keep from doing things that we should not do. Image info: Dogs I really enjoyed the Jatakas Tales this semester. I did not know of them until I read them in this class and I wish there was a lot more of them or maybe I need...

It was a bright and early chocolatey morning at the chocolate factory. Today, is actually a special day for everyone at the chocolate factory and for the people in the town who enjoy chocolate! Today, is my birthday! Yes! It is the King of Chocolate birthday. Every year, we throw a big chocolate party to celebrate. There is wonderful music. People dress up and of course there is chocolate galore. The party usually starts at noon every year but I noticed something was a little different today. No one in the factory got up to celebrate. Also , no one in the town got up to celebrate and I do not understand what was going on. I was looking forward to this moment for the past month. Can you believe there was not even  music playing. I felt a little disrespected. For as long as I can remember, everyone always celebrated my birthday. I began to ask all of my Oompa-Lompas, why was no one celebrating my birthday. The crazy part about that was none of them answered me or even looked me in ...

This week I decided to do a post over the Seven Secrets of Goddess. I found it interesting that most of the gods that we have talked about this semester is very violet when it comes to someone threatening their place as king or god. I was surprised to see how a god would kill their own family because they feel threatened that they would take their place. When I think of a god, I think of someone peaceful, graceful and etc. Therefore, when I listened to the video, "Seven Secrets of Goddess" I was shocked to  hear Gaia ate his own children to keep them from taking over his thrown. I think this week I am going to write a story about Willy Wonka being threatened. I think it could be an interesting story to have someone come to the factory and try to take his factory from him. I haven't decided if ima make it a family member or an enemy.  The King of the Thrown  Bibliography
