I found this story a good read because it is short and sweet and it has a great meaning behind it which is the best thing about the story. It teaches the readers not to be greedy because only bad things will happen with greed. Too much greed is shown to be not good as seen in this story.                                          The best thing about this story is the names that the fish were given. Their personality were matched with their names which is really great that the story did that. This is also a good way to remember what the characters were like. The story was short and simple which was a good thing. If it was not for the Very-Thoughtful fish the other two fish would get caught and they would have died. This also would not have happened if they did not come near the town. The greed and then laziness got them into this situation since the other two fishes were lazy to ...

I found this story very innocent and a great read because it was short and sweet. There are many things to learn from this story such as trust no one and listen to your parents and that is why I really liked the story.       THE WOLF. SOURCE .  The main characters from this story are the Wolf and then Lion. The Wolf was very clever character. He is a trickster and at the end he got want he wanted. He first tricked the baby Lion into making him believe that he can trust the Wolf. Even though Lion’s parents always told not to make friends with a Wolf. Lion was very innocent and believed the Wolf just because the wolf called him “Great Lion”. The Wolf was just kissing up to the poor Lion so he could gain his trust. The lion believed him, being the innocent lion that he was. The lion also never listened to his parents like he should have because parents know what is best for him. He went against his parents words which cost him his life in the end. The wol...

I want to focus on Kansa who I found a interesting character in the story of Krishna life. He is a very strong character that we learn about. He is known as a king who is very cruel. The people of the place he was ruling were not happy and wanted peace from him. Voice from the sky told him about how he would die and also how his sister’s son would be his slay. With this situation we saw his angry side where he tired to kill his own sister. He did love her but he still did not care about that in the beginning then the anger came out. His sister begged to leave them alive so Kansa listened. But he was so cruel that he threw both his sister and her husband in jail as punishment. He is also selfish and we see this with how he wanted to save himself and that is all he cared about. He was willing to kill anyone for himself. He was going to kill innocent babies to safe himself. Just because he was so cruel he killed all of Devaki’s children when he didn’t have to. He was only supposed to kill...

The Golden Goose   -  More Jataka Tales by Ellen C. Babbitt with illustrations by Ellsworth Young This story can really teach a lot to someone. I think it had a really good message behind the story that people can learn from. What I took away from this story is that people do want to help but greed can ruin everything. No one should be so greedy especially if someone is helping you out, because of the greed the feather turned normal which had no selling value. The mother ruined it for herself Starting: The story started in a tradition way ' Once upon a time..'. The main character was mentioned right away, which was the goose. There is not much background into but we do learn everything we need to know as the story goes on.  Story telling: This story was told in third person and the author also uses quotation marks to tell us exactly what the characters said. Ending: The story ended right after the climax of the story, there was no unn...
