Good use of transition words: "as a response to this," "then," "after that" However, the Monkey King is unhappy because he has been criticized and ostracized because he is a monkey. He wishes he was no longer a monkey and tries to change himself in order to be more acceptable. Jin Wang is new in school, but he feels isolated because of his Asian American background. You are not very specific about that. I also hope you recognize that Chin-kee is a gross exaggeration of the stereotypical Chinese person.
I hope you enjoy the book!
