=Inferences for Holes Due October 29 (Deeney)=

For this assignment, you will choose __three__ parts of Holes where an inference in required. You will put the page number/text, the inference that needs to be made, and the text and/or background information we need to make that inference. You can use a chart like the one below, or simply type out in narrative style. Two examples are given for you.

Please include three different kinds of inferences. In other words, if you're using one where we must infer something based on an italicized word, use something other than an italicized word in your other examples. Make sure that you are specific.

Please avoid very low level inferences. For example, if a character is crying, inferring the character's feelings is fairly easy. We know from background knowledge that crying usually means someone is sad/upset. Of course the text could mean crying for joy, which would be a little higher level as it wouldn't be the usual response. Warden is some fierce/evil person; one needs to be careful of Warden || Hammock stretched b/t two trees Campers forbidden... Hammock belongs to Warden ||  || Hot days would be nice to lay in hammock under trees (shade is cool on hot days) If people are forbidden, they can't "owns" can mean literally (has bought), or figuratively (is boss of) ||
