Inferences
Inferring is the process of drawing conclusions or making educated guesses about information that isn't directly stated in the text, but it is implied through the author's writing and the reader's understanding of context and character. You may have heard of it called, "reading between the lines."
Think back on what we've read so far, then answer this question: Which characters do you think the author want you to dislike? Why do you think that?
