Example:
Crow Call
Lois Lowry
Pg 1-2
Include your name at end of post.
"It's morning, early, barely light, cold for November. At home, in the bed next to mine, Jessica, my older sister, still sleeps. But my bed is empty."
From this excerpt I can infer a few things about the character and the setting First, she shares a room with her sister because the text states that her bed was next to her sisters. Also, I can infer that she had to get up early to do something or go somewhere today, but her sister did not have to go because she (Jessica) is still asleep. Next, I know the character is the narrator of the story from this opening paragraph. I can tell from the words that the story will be told from her point of view. Finally, I know Jessica and the main character live in an area where the seasons change because she states it was "cold for November". This made me think that the weather was changing. The quote above may only be the first few lines of the story, but they allowed me to make many inferences.

"It was completely blacked out except for a bright light shining on a chair across from a desk. On the desk was a complicated-looking machine with leads coming out of it..."
I can infer from this quote that the chair is part of the desk and that the whole thing only has a little light on the chair and desk. The complicated machine is a lie detector I know this from a little before it says that he passed background check and needs lie detector

ReplyDeleteIt is sink or swim pal.
in the book they where doing fast warm ups and the gym teacher said sink or swim pal. This means that keep up or stop
Yes, you are correct. The gym teacher does want him to keep up, but you need to elaborate a bit more. What does keeping up mean? Is the boy trying to learn to swim or improve his skills? Or is he not trying to swim at all?

I'm reading the book The Great Fire. One night a fire broke out at a house in the city of Chicago. The fire 15 minutes old its already burning the house barn and anything in its way. The buildings in the city where made out of wood some where made of stone and bricks. The firefighters where getting cinched and the lost hair on there arms and heads. Now some house by the fire are about to catch fire. Its taken 16 hours to take to put out the first part.The neighbors had a party so the fire was oblivious the wind was coming in from the west and heading trowed the city fast. all everyone wanted to do was just rest for at least 5 minutes. But if they did it would be even harder the stop.

"Someone...help...me!" he screamed; each word ripped his throat raw.
From this sentence, I can infer many things about what is happening. I can tell that Thomas is alone, and in trouble because is asking for help. Also, I can tell that he has been yelling for a long time. His throat wouldn't hurt if he just started yelling.
Yelling for a long time and probably yelling very loudly, too!

"Coward" "...This needs to stop" "He takes the knife and puts it through the bread"
I can infer that he is mad because he says that it needs to stop and he takes the knife and puts it in the bread. This shows that he is made because he is putting is anger in the bread and he says it is enough. I can infer that he will beat up the person that said coward because he is really strong and get angry easily.
I agree with you. I can totally visualize someone who is angry.

" I think i have found something, i think it's a shotgun shell"
I chose this quote because this quote really explains a lot of inferring. This quote can explain a lot of inferring because the quote can show how Stanley thinks that the thing he found is a shell of a bullet or a slug shell or something else that's not a shell. Some of his friends think is a fossil or a metallic tube he found. Next i know that this character is the main character, so he is the one that own's the tube know, not all the other people there. So i think that this quote really shows an example of an inference because this can show how Stanley can guess how what he found is something good or bad so he can get the day of because he found something good.
Yes, I think it might be an example of the character making an inference, but I wanted you to make an inference from the quote.

ReplyDeleteThe book im reading is bud not buddy. im on page 15 and the book is good so far. lieing is no better than telling the truth. i think this means that if you do somthing bad you might as well tell the truth because if you get caught lieing you will be in more trouble. In the book a boy beat up Bud and then told his mom it was in self defence and then Bud got in a lot of trouble from his care holders

" Some trader ruined our operation" I think that in Zoobreak someone is out to get them like they know what Griffin is trying to do or it is someone from the group who is a trader. What that quote is saying is that some betrayed them and they could not successfully do there operation and complete there important mission. I think it is one of the zoo keepers who is trying to help them like a double cross. I am predicting that the person who took the boat is the guy or girl who stole the monkey too.

I am currently reading "The Death Cure" by James Dashner. I am on page 148. I can infer that Thomas, the main character, will be going back to WICKED headquarters. I can infer this because the text says," 'Get out of the car, Thomas' Thomas shivered. He would know that voice anywhere. It was Janson. The Rat Man." Janson is a supervisor who works for WICKED. Thomas had recently escaped form the facility and Janson has now founds him.

I am currently reading Ranger's Apprentice: Burning Bridge by John Flanagan and I am on page 45. The quote that I chose to make an inference from is, "His (Horace) discomfort increased as Gilan continued the demonstration." Some context for this quote is that Gilan (a ranger) is showing Will (apprentice) how to defend against a swordsman using "the double-knife defense." Horace is the "swordsman" and is using a big sword to demonstrate. From this quote I can infer that Horace feels like he is being made look foolish. I can infer this because he is becoming uncomfortable in what Gilan is showing Will. Gilan is countering all of Horace's attacking moves and Will is enjoying the demonstration. Horace feels like he has nothing against a ranger being a swordsman.
This is a wonderful response to my prompt. It demonstrate a well thought out answer, and it shows me you definitely know how to reason and make an inference.

I am currently reading The Burning Bridge by John Flanagan. On page 54, I found a quote where I was able to do some inferring.
"Exactly!", he agreed. "Nothing! No smoke from the chimney's. No people in the streets. It looks as empty as the border post."
From this quote I can infer that the main character expected the area to be inhabited. He thought there would be people roaming around like it was a normal day. I can also infer that the main character had experienced the same confusion earlier at a border post because he says the village was as empty as the border post.
Nicely done! This is a wonderful example of your inferring skills, and your response demonstrates good reasoning, too!

I am reading the book The Ruins Of Gorlan by John Flanagan. I am currently on page 90. The quote I found is when Will contemplates “ Would he be able to ride Tug”. I can certainly tell that will wants to impress Halt and Bob. But he is nervous because he has never ridden a horse before. I also can infer that he is thinking will he get hurt or will he fall off the minute he gets on. This is probably going to take place in Bobs back yard which is an open field.
I think you might have wanted to pull out a bit more text in your quotation from the book. It is hard for me to see if your inference is reasonable because your quote is too brief.

"She runs into the back of the room at the community center and gives Rory a hug. I get a sinking feeling in my stomach."
From these two sentences I can infer a couple things. First, I can infer that Rory's friend hadn't seen her in a long time because it says "she ran to the..." I think that her running is a sign of longing to see her best friend, and that she missed her. Also, I can infer that Tara (the main character) is jealous of Rory and her friend's relationship because the text says, "I get a sinking feeling in my stomach." This usually means someone is jealous, or sad about something. In this case, Tara might be sad because she doesn't have a relationship with Rory like her other friend does.

"Rodrick's van doesn't actually have any seats in the back, so I had to squeeze in with all the band equipment. And every time the van came to a stop, I had to pray I didn't get my head taken off by one of Rodrick's drums."
From this quote, I can infer that Greg doesn't like riding in the back of Rodrick's van. I can infer this because he talks about how he brother is driving back home from swimming practice in his van and all of Rodrick's band equipment is fly all around and how he is praying that his head doesn't get taken off by one of Rodrick's drums.

I am reading the book The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch. I just started this book today, so I am on page 8. One quote that I thought was good for inferencing was, "I wondered how long it would be until they made it to the top and the whole thing finally collapsed. Ten years? Twenty? Would I be Dad's age? Grandpa's?" I think that this means since they are experiencing a breakdown in society, and nothing is being cared for, he wonders how long it will take until everything goes crazy. I think this because on the pages before and after it, it talks about how Stephen and his dad lost their house, and everyone is looting and stealing, so Stephen and his dad are hiding from the majority of society to be as safe as they can be.
Great quote to use to show your inferring skills! Nice done :)

“I’ve already told him twice that my name was Bud, not Buddy.”
While I was reading this book, I found out that this boy’s parents has died and he is now living with a foster home. Unfortunately, the 12-year-old boy that lives there is bullying him everyday. Also, this boy hates being called Buddy because his name gets confused with “Buddy” instead of “Bud”. Now, this boy has done terrible things. He has stuck up a Ticonderoga pencil up Bud’s nose and shoved it up all the way to the letter R. This boy keeps lying to his mother that he hasn't done anything wrong. Now, I infer that Bud is going to get some revenge. Either he will punch the boy or just leave the house.

From the paragraph I can conclude that Will is very nervous about the Choosing. The Choosing sounds like an important piece of the story if Will is nervous about it. I can also infer that Will doesn't sleep in his own bed, because he sleeps in a dormitory.
I think the nervous part is the best part of the inference you made!

" Penny loves wearing hats and playing dress-up."
I infer that Penny will dress up and show her mom. She will tell her that she should go to working looking and wearing the same outfit that Penny is. Her mom will ask her “who goes to work looking like that.” I infer this because after Penny tried to escape from Mrs. V, she wanted to play dress-up.

‘’I felt my center of gravity becoming displaced, and my head began to reel that as if I were intoxicated. I was about to fall in when a powerful hand held me back.’’
From this quote I can infer that my character Axel, is really scared from the first sentence of the quote, and I could tell that in the middle of them is some sort of pit. I could also infer that this pit is really deep down, and a place you would need a rope for. Later in that paragraph it said that Axel and his uncle had to go down a huge pit, with a rope. I could also tell it was a pit because in the story it said ‘’ Its walls were perpendicular, and were thick with sharp edges.’’ This quote helped me with were the setting is taking place, and what and how the main character is feeling.

... I have a half brother who's five years older than me and barely knows I exist. For as long as I can remember, i've felt like parents could hardly wait for me to be old enough to take care of myself. My mom and dad got divorced when I was four and they pretty much hate each other. I grew up spending half of every week in my dad’s apartment in Chelsea and the other half at my mom’s place in Brooklyn Heights.”
I can infer from this quote that Justin’ family does not care that much about him. I also can infer that Justin lives in New York because his mom lives in Brooklyn Heights. The last thing I can infer is that Justin’s parents don’t spend much time with him because they both have to work.

“”Protect Nicholas!” Scathach commanded, darting forward, her matched swords flickering out, biting into the creature, but without any effect.”
I can infer quite a few things from this quote. First of all, I can infer that this is a panicky and surprising situation, since Scatach yells out to protect Nicholas Flamel. I can infer this also because she reacts quickly to the situation. In addition, I can infer Nicholas is an important person in this part of the story, because everyone else is needed to protect him. Therefore, Nicholas is helpless and vulnerable.

“... a gun resting on my palm. Lynn put it there a few minutes ago; she seemed confused that I did not wrap my hand around it…”
From this quote, I can infer why Tris (main character) just left the gun on her palm.

This quote shows me that the story is in the future. I can infer that the future, filled with new concepts, didn’t keep anything from the past (current times for us). I thought this is because the O’Hare airport is currently one of the most busiest airports in the country. And our country is called the United States.

“The students gawked. Their teacher was a trim woman with confident shoulders, a clean face, and an amazing total of twelve tiny hoops hugging the curves of her ears, but she still looked ridiculous, because her head was below their feet and her khaki clad rear was bobbing up and down. They would have started whispering and poking and giggling, except that Miss loupe began calling the roll.”
From this sentence, I can infer that the setting is started out in a school, since there are students and a teacher. And also it must be the first day of school because they were looking at the teacher and her features, meaning that it’s their first time there. And the teacher was about to call to see if the students are there, so they do that around the first week of school or so. Also, from reading this text, the talking right now is the narrator. They also must think their teacher is weird because they said they would've started “whispering and poking and giggling”.

Next, I can infer that the "Everflesh attached to his living flesh was an angry red line that sparked like a short circuit." Maybe important for later in the chapter.

He is so smart that he came up with a mathematical theorem showing what is going to happen in a relationship between him and a Kathrine.

Weird, did he try to find Katherines on purpose or did it just work out that way?

Quote from page 86
"Dawn is breaking through the windows. The Capitol has a misty, haunted air. My head aches and I must have bitten into the side of my cheek in the night. My tongue probes the ragged flesh and I taste blood."
From this excerpt, I can infer that Katniss is really scared and frightened. It says, "...I taste blood." It also says, "I must have bitten into the side of my cheek." This shows that she didn't even realize that she had bitten her cheek, which makes her look scared. Also, I am making an inference that Katniss is almost certain that she will die. The text states, "The Capitol has a misty, haunted air." The word haunted just makes me think about death, so I can imagine her feeling that way.

Biting you cheek without being aware might also mean that you are worried and/or nervous, too.

"'Your sister did leave with us,' I say 'But we were attacked by the factionless, and she... didn't make it.' There is so much that phrase does not say."- Tobias page 163.
I could infer by this quote that Tobias meant to say much more to Tori's brother. I think this because after he said what he did say (Your sister did leave with us but we were attacked by the factionless, and she... didn't make it.) he said that there was so much that that phrase did not say. Meaning he wished he had said more but he didn't think that it would be necessary.

The book i'm reading is Batman Arkham City by Paul Dini. “Except I know there’s not going to be a next time” is a good quote to show inference. I infer that the Joker is going to die. The mood in this setting is dark. The reason why this dark is because Joker knows he’s going to die but he still plans to get some revenge from getting defeated by Batman. From this quote it is the Jokers perspective on things. The reason why I think Joker is dying is because he said “the titan formula did something to me...I’d be crazier than usual to deny it.” With Joker taking this drug its not going to be long until he dies!

“But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword."
From this quote I can infer that the act Percy did could be sometimes very bad because it said in the quote that the act could be powerful as a sword meaning that some acts that you do could be really strong or powerful.
What "act" was he referring to? You needed to explain a bit more--not clear.

I am reading the book Quit It by Marcia Byalick. I am on page 9.
“Once I fell asleep during lunch and my mom had to come to my friends Amy’s house and take me home. Another time I had to miss my favorite dance class because by three o’clock I couldn’t wait to crawl upstairs to bed”
From this piece of evidence I can infer about what is happening and is going to happen to the main character Carrie. First of all in the text it talks about how carrie has to take these pills and with her taking the pills if gives off all of these side effects. One of them is getting really tired really early. I could picture what was going to happen from the description in the text. I think that there is going to have it where it will be earlier and earlier where Carrie just wants to fall asleep and then that side effect will go away and a new even worse one will come upon her.
So, you think this quote foreshadows terrible things to come for the character?

I am reading the book Blizzards of Glass the Halifax explosion of 1917 by Sally M. Walker. I am currently on page 10 because I just got it today during class. “ Women and Girls built sturdy birch-bark covered wigwams and gathered plants” I could infer that they would gather the plants for food and they used the birch-bark for medicine or maybe even making things. Because normally if you get plants or crops you use it for food. And from other books i have heard about birch bark and they used it for medicine.
I like that you are using your schema!

“ And we’re the chosen ones,” Maybeck said skeptically. “ Indeed, you are. Very carefully chosen, at that: intelligence, athleticism, artistry, computer knowledge.”
I inferred from prior knowledge of the book that Philby stands for intelligence, Maybek stands for artistry, Charlene stands for athleticism, and Willa is computer knowledge. Earlier in the book, it tells about how smart Philby is and he says a lot of smarty pants facts throughout it. Also, Maybek’s aunt owns a pottery store. When Finn and Charlene,they see his beautiful portrait of the Magic Kingdom on a coffee mug he painted. It talks about how fast and athletic Charlene is. She plays a lot of sports and is a great runner. In one chapter, the friends meet on the VMK ( Virtual Magic Kingdom ) to discuss the plans and it talks about how Willa's character is all tricked out. Also, when assigning roles, Willa got the job for research on the computer.

Quote: Page 15 "The back and the front doors were kicked in at the exact same moment. Police! Freeze! Keep your hands on the table!"
I infer from the scene that something has gone horrible wrong to their family. That someone has made a mistake and will have to make up for it in jail. I infer it is the Dad that will have to go to prison because they haven’t talked about him a lot and they haven’t described his personality traits. I think he did something wrong somewhere else than his family because his family is confused about it.
So, was it the dad? Don't keep me in suspense!

“Some war, he said dismissively. What am I at war with? My cancer. And what is my cancer? My cancer is me. The tumors are made of me. They're made of me as surely as my brain and my heart are mad of me. It is a civil war, Hazel Grace, with a predetermined winner.”
I inferred a lot of things about one of the main characters Gus from this passage. First, I inferred that Gus is dying from his cancer. I came to this realization when I read the part of the excerpt that says that Gus’s cancer is him, and he is fighting a war within himself with a predetermined winner. Next, I can infer that Gus has come to terms with his impending fate and ever looming death. I can infer this because in the passage Gus states that the cancer is him, defines him, and has the ultimate decision upon his fate. LAstly, I can infer that Gus is upset about his cancer, how it has taken over the person who he used to be. I inferred this because in the passage it says, “Some war, he said dismissively. What am I at war with? My cancer. And what is my cancer? My cancer is me.” Since Gus is talking to Hazel dismissively you can infer he is upset about the subject, and how his cancer has taken over his life. I thought the passage above really helped build up Gus’s character and clarified a lot about the story.

ReplyDelete"Mr Deryn sharp" In this book Deryn is hiding as a boy so she can join the air service. I can infer that she is a boy because in the book it has "Mr" Italicized.

“Jake climbed down from the truck scowling his most ferocious scowl, but she only smiled. Even his silver-spiked black leather collar and his Vampire Zombies from the Beyond T-shirt with the skull and fangs that dripped bright red blood didn't faze her.”
From this quote, I can infer some things about this boy. First, I can infer that he has a very scary and dark personality. He wore a shirt that had vampires, zombies, and blood on it. I also can infer that he is trying to intimidate or scare this woman because he scowled and looked mean. Overall, I can infer that Jake might not be the most happiest or nicest person you will ever meet.

I am reading the book Allegiant by: Veronica Roth. I am on chapter 5. I found this quote that I can make some inferences on: He pours some in each cup, and I take a sip. “Whatever it is, it’s sweet a syrup and lemon-flavored and makes me cringe a little.”. The quote is from Tris’ point of view, and the he is Tobias. I can infer that Tris is drinking Sprite, because it is a drink, and Sprite is very sweet and lemony. Also, it is obvious that she nor Tobias never had any before, because he says “I stole it from the Erudite kitchens. Apparently it’s delicious.”, so it sounds like he doesn’t know what it is.
