Dear Family Member:
In Shiloh, Marty is taking care of a dog that has
been abused. His father does not seem to care about
the dog, and insists Marty give Shiloh back to his
owner. Then one night, when his father does not
see him, Marty watches his dad scratching Shiloh’s
back. I can see that the father loves Shiloh. Making
assumptions based on an author’s clues is
making inferences.
