The topic I chose for my project is Karma. I am going to be writing the stories all to be based on Karma itself and its effects. 1. For one of the stories I will writing about a delay in karma. Many people believe that because it does not happen right away that they are safe from it. The link below is one that I found that was somewhat relevant to what I want this story to be. I am still tweaking the plot. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/gadadhara-pandit-dasa/karma-what-goes-around-comes-around_b_1081057.html 2. For this story I have decided to make it slightly different and have it based on good karma. Doing good things for others. However, I am going to not only make it about doing good things for others to get good karma but because being a good person is something we should always be regardless. https://www.gaiam.com/blogs/discover/how-to-attract-good-karma 3.

In the small town of Rahda there lived an old man who roamed the streets without no where to live. he hunched over his wooden cane and with much struggle took light steps as he headed in his direction.

Week 11 Story... Honesty is the Best Policy

Title: The Giant Crab and Other Tales from Old India Author: W.H.D. Rouse I have never been the kid that gets in trouble or that ends up in those situations. I have always done as I was told and always avoided conflicts with others. My mother always told me "honesty is the best policy" and those words constantly run through my mind. Being kind to others and showing compassion are other values that I hold dear to my heart. My name is Bailey and I am a senior in high school. I grew up being the youngest of three and in many ways I was always over protected. My siblings would seldom listen to my parents and often did whatever they wanted. They still wanted me to succeed so they always kept a tight leash on what I did. My parents always made sure I was involved in sports and because I became an athlete at such a young age, I was able to be on all the varsity teams for the sports that I played all throughout high school. I played basketball, football, ba...
