Today in class we all read Bok Choy. This book is written by Paul Mason. It is a non-fiction book but it is based on fiction events.
This book is mostly about a little boy named Jacob and a gold miner named Ah Sum. The setting is in Otago and it was 1865 on the gold mines on New Gold Mountain. It is a racisim story. The two racist are Mrs Bishop and her son William they are very mean to Ah Sum. Mrs Bishop thinks that Chinese are so desperate for money that they would even sell off their family. A lot of the pakeha made the Chinese live on the hills and the pakeha can live on the flat parts with flash built houses.
My favorite part was when Jacobs mother said how can I thank you and Ah Sum just smiled and then the mother said “I insisted you come to my house tomorrow.What have you been reading in class?
