Venus Dever, Jane Khor (Chuah), Ken Chuah
2. Summarize in 1-3 sentences the story (make sure you have covered what you want your readers {me} to know about your subject/topic):
Ken Chuah left his job at Motorola to pursue his passion in business. Financial crisis and having a baby acted as basic obstacles during his life, yet he and Jane manages to create a business without falling into any family issues.
3. How many paragraphs is the story (I would expect you to have around 20-30 at least)?
23 paragraphs
4. How many words is the story (you should be between 800-1500)?
1349 words.
5. How many direct quotes are there in the story (remember LTQT style, every other paragraph should be a direct quote, so between 10-20)?
10 direct quotes.
6. How many different people are quoted in the story (you should have 3)?
3 people quoted : Venus, Jane, Ken
7. Which quote is the most impactful of all the ones included (where is this quote located? It should be near the top or at the end)?
The quote at the end. It expresses Ken's passion in business as you see him talk deeply about patenting and all the processes but quickly returning to the idea that business is his interest.
I think it expresses his passion both directly and indirectly.
8. Where is that quote located in the story (beginning, middle, end) (see above)?
It's in the end.
9. Does the lede effectively capture the readers attention (think about if you were reading this story, would you want to keep going after you read the first few paragraphs? If not, try to do more story telling in the lead, go back and look at this link: LEADS )?
Yes, I believe so.
10. If their could have been one additional person interviewed for the story, who would it be (you have time, maybe you could get ahold of that person and add it in before tomorrow afternoon)?
I would like to interview Mrs. Erie. She was a low-cost babysitter, but I was advised not to because her indian accent was very strong.
11. Is the story objective, which means are all non-direct quotes statements of fact and NOT the opinion of the writer (and are you in third person? NO use of the words I, me, we, us, and make sure if your source referenced anything like your aunt - that should be changed to her sister)?
Yes.
12. Are there any unanswered questions that you have after reading the article (if you have questions, someone else will too, ANSWER THEM)?

Q.Was Ken's business successful?

A. I don't want to tell off what his business was, because it might reveal too much personal info, but yes. It is small but it makes a lot of income. 

13. Write a headline to go with this story:

Passion Over Fortune: A man risks leaving a famous company in exchange for his desire to start a business. 

14. Sum up your opinion of the story:
The story is a basic example of going for passion. I think the story differs from other stories about jobs because Ken was a foreigner going to U.S, has a disadvantage in getting a U.S job because he immigrated to U.S, then gets himself into a big, famous company in his time, and completely turns it around because he didn't like it. It shows that doing something that doesn't interest you won't make your life how you wanted it.


15. Give yourself a self grade from 0-100

I think an 87. Due to the limited amount time, I wasn't able to make it how I wanted it: perfect
