King Dasharatha

 King Dasharatha lives in a beautiful palace

The people are happy under his ruling

The city is beautiful and wealthy

Even with all of this, the king is sad because he has no son to heir the throne

Introduction

  My name is Robbie Johnson. I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma and am a senior here at OU. All my life I have been a huge fan of sports. I played almost every sport when I was younger such as football, baseball, basketball, soccer, swimming, tennis, and track. My favorites are definitely football and basketball. As I grew older, I cut the sports down to just football and basketball because I did not have enough time for that many extracurriculars. Now that I am in college, I am focusing my attention on school and my major is Health and Exercise Science. After college I am looking to go to chiropractic school.

This child is the one he had with the queen before he cheated on her with my mother. The child's name is Joe. Joe has always been better than me in every way. Everyone loves him and he is good at everything he does. Joe is also loved by his parents and my father makes it clear to us both that Joe is the favorite. Of course this hurts me to hear, but after all of these years I am used to it.  One day, Joe was competing in a competition as he usually does. He was going up against a larger opponent; however, because he is Joe, everyone expected him to win easily. This was not the case and unfortunately, Joe was severely hurt. This caused massive panic among the commu

Week 7 Story

 Drona One day, a young boy was skipping rocks with his father. His dad was showing him the best rock skipping technique but the boy was too small and weak to properly throw the rock. The father told him that one day, he would be strong enough to skip rocks even further than him. The little boy was filled with hope and courage and remembered that moment for the rest of his life. They walked back home and went to sleep. The next morning, the boy had to go to school and his father had to go to work. In the middle of the school day, a very bad thing happened to the boy. The school was raided by a local militia looking for child warriors. The shot up the staff and killed all of the teachers and workers so that only the young kids were left. The little boy and his friends were forced to join the army against their will and fight against the government.  When his father got home from work, there were two men on his porch.  He asked them, "what's wrong?"  and the men responded,
