  1. I would start a new paragraph at “In the beginning of the story…” and it seems like you don’t have a concluding paragraph that talks about how the problem was resolved, how the characters changed, and how it relates to Unit Five: Going West. Looks great so far!

  2. Thank you for indenting your paragraphs. Please watch your spelling when you complete this entry: Wonf and fids. Also, does Uncle really leave with the Fox? I’d double check that. Good work so far. Looking forward to you finishing!

  3.       “The journal of Wong Ming-Chung talks about a place in the mountains and riversides of California. Wong Ming Chung is a boy who joins his Uncle, a dreamer with bad luck to find gold. Groups of robbers keep steeling their gold and force the company to build levees instead.”

          In the bigging of he story, Uncle is feeling sad that they’re not prospecting for gold. So Uncle left Wong Ming – Chung and the company. Fox said go with Uncle, Wong Ming- Chung tried to go with Uncle. So Uncle says no, he says hurtful things. Wong Ming- Chung cries and stays with the Fox. Go after Uncle anyway. Uncle says to Wong Ming- Chung that he didn’t mean what he said. Wong Mong- Chung forgave Uncle. The decided to look for gold in the morning. Wong Ming- Chung found gold in their abandon claim.

          So in the morning they start to buid rockers. So later on they found gold. So in the middle of the story. When they went to get supplies the Americans laughed.

          At the end of the story they went to the bank so they could bank there gold. They sent some money back to China people said Uncle’s luck is big as a mountain.

  4. Hi Dillon,

    Good beginning. But the third and concluding paragraphs are lacking. A lot happened after they bought supplies. You have to add more detail sir. Also, e conclude paragraph requires you to talk about how the problem was resolved. Before you talk about Uncle being lucky, you have to talk about Uncle’s luck in the beginning. Was there a change for Wong Ming-Chung also? You can copy and repost. Make sure you write your paragraphs out before you blog.

  5.      “The Journal of Wong Ming-Chung” takes place in the mountains and riversides of California. Wong Ming-Chung is a boy who joins his Uncle,a dreamer with bad luck to find gold. Groups of robbers keep stealing their gold and force the company to build levees instead.
         In the beginning of the story,Uncle doesn’t want to build levees and instead want to find gold. Uncle left the company to find gold. Fox tells Wong Ming-Chung to go with Uncle. Uncle says “No!” and says hurtful things to him. Now Wong Ming-Chung is sad and cries. Wong Ming-Chung decides to help Uncle anyways. When Wong Ming-Chung finds Uncle,Uncle apoligizes and told him he didn’t mean to say hurtful things to him. Now,Uncle and Wong Ming-Chung is happy,looking for gold next day. Later on,they went into a shack to sleep. That night,Wong Ming-Chung had a nightmare about a mob chasing. That causes him to wake up,he finds gold on the floor. Next day they are looking for gold.
         Today,they built a rocker,shook it no gold,a light,then there was gold. Next day, they went to town to buy supplies. They registered their claim. The Americans laughed at them and told them there are no gold. Today, they are banking their gold. Before Once they banked their gold, they will send it the money to China. Relatives must think Uncle has good luck now.
       &bsp;&bsp;In the beginning of the story, Chung wasn’t rich, now Chung is rich, and Uncle was known for bad luck, and now he isn’t, those were the changes that happend in the story.

  6.      ”The Journal of Wong Ming-Chung” takes place in the mountains and riversides of California. Wong Ming-Chung is a boy who joined his uncle, a dreamer with bad luck, in seach for gold. Groups of robbers keep stealing their glod and force the company to build levees instead.

        In the beginning of the story, Uncle is upset because he thinks building levees is a waste of time. He ends up leaving the company. With harsh words he also leaves behind his nephew Wong Ming-Chung. Despite the words he had heard his uncle say to him, Wong felt he was family and he needed to help him. when they were reunited again, Uncle said sorry, he didn’t mean what he had said. That night Wong had a nightmare and woke up to notice specks of light surrounding him in the shed. He thought he found gold. When he told Uncle his theory, they both agreed on looking for gold in the morning. As soon as they woke up, Uncle built a rocker and they began to shake it in the river’s water. To their suprise they had stuck it rich.

        After this finding, they registered their claim and buy some supplies. The decided to clean up camp and move to a new claim. They moved from claim to claim prospecting but only two had gold. When they had finishd, they went to Sacremento with a muddy basket and raggety clothes to protect their gold. Keeping their amount a secret to the clerk, they weighed their gold and recorded the resaults. Wong Ming-Chung wrote in his journal wishing to hear his family when the money they were going to send arrives in China.

         In conclusion, Wong Ming-Chung found tiny gold flakes in abandoned claims until they struck it rich. In the beginning, Uncle’s luck changedfrom bad luck to luck “as big as a mountain.” At first Wong Ming-Chung was poor but became rich at the end of the story. I learned to keep trying because hard work leads to great success.

When he told Uncle he could hardly believe it because there was none there when they came. Meanwhile, they took the gold to Sacramento to bank it. But when they talked to the clark he was very suspicious. Other claims, people laughed at them because they didn’t believe them. But at least they got to send something home. At the end of the story Wong Ming-Chung and Uncle thought using the money for buying something like a land would be a great idea.
