  9. Some of the bad things that will happen to my family is that....
    My brother, Henry will get cholera. One of my captain's son's will get lost and we will delay our journey to find him. Some of our oxen died so we must find substitutes. A wagon sinks in the Platte river!!! A good thing that might happen is that when we get to Oregon, after we build a sod house we will not get any snakes and mice in our house. Our dog will have puppies and the Indians we meet are not violent to us.( All these things MIGHT happen to my family on the trail!!!

  15. On the trail some good things happen and some bad things happened. One of the bad things that might happen to my family and wagon trail is that 3 out of 5 men who scout out in front of the wagon die from indians and my brother dies because when my family is at the end of the wagon train my brother gets lost in the dust and then gets run over my the wagon. And some of the good things that might happen to my family is that all of my oxen survive and that my family is very generous because one time a family in our wagon train lost a wheel on a crossing of a river or a mountain and my family lends one of our spare ones to that family but our family still has an emergency wagon wheel.

    This all might happen
