Journal Prompt: Inferring/Making Inferences
Inferring is the process of drawing conclusions or making educated guesses about information that isn't directly stated in the text, but is implied through the author's writing and the reader's understanding of the context and characters. Sometimes this is referred to as "reading between the lines."
Think back on what we have read so far, then answer this question: What character traits does the main character possess? How do you know?
