The Diary of Karma. Before even opening this project to read, I had a feeling that I would enjoy this method of writing. The title of the story, being “The Diary of Karma”, indicated at it being told in a first person type of manner. I chose this story because I wanted to experience the story from the point of view of the main characters. The topic of karma is one I believe many are familiar with. It goes along the lines of “do harm, and harm will come to you”. The introduction grabs my attention by asking questions therefore engaging me. I enjoy the physical layout of this story. The background gives off an old paper vibe which ties into the diary theme.


CSI: Indian Epics. One of my favorite genre of shows include crime and detective-based ones. I get a thrill from watching the plot unfold which was why I was intrigued with this story. This story is written in a way so that you are the detective. It helps to create the ambiance of the story. I enjoyed the physical layout of the story. It’s made to look like notebook paper which I found to be a nice touch. The stories are formatted to look like a detective’s report and it really helps to tie in the theme.


Fairytale Case Files: India. The title of this story also caught my attention because it fell under the crime and detective category. The physical layout of this story gives off a much more ominous feel to it due to the dark colors. The introduction really made me interested in continuing the story since it was very informative. This story is a bit different from the last in that each story isn’t formatted to look like a detective’s report. Much of the story is made up of the dialogue between the two main characters and it helps the story to flow more smoothly as opposed to just having reports.
