Assignment – Inferences About Character
Please read the requirements below carefully, and complete each section of the assignment logically. There is no designated number of words for each section, but the length should be roughly proportional to the mark to be awarded. In total, I am expecting 4 pages in length, namely about 4 x 275 = 1,100 words.
*Please answer each of the questions in paragraph form, using analysis and interpretation. Please be sure to read your assignment carefully as 5 Marks are dedicated in each assignment to grammar, sentence structure and clarity of thoughts. Always use lines from the short story to support your answers to the questions*
1) Read the first page of the short story, from there I want you to write your Inference the protagonist thus far. I am not looking for a correct inference at this point; I just want to know what your initial Inference is. (4 Marks)
