CAT6 Activity

Everyday Use

     An inference is an intelligent guess based on evidence in a story and on what you already know.  When making inferences about characters’ readers base many guesses on what characters say and do.  In the short story Everyday Use readers find out what type of person Maggie is through the things that she has done and the things that she says.
