Inference

details out of a story to make it more
dramatic or humorous. In these
cases, it is up to the reader to draw
his/her own conclusion based on the
information given. These conclusions
are known as inferences.
How to Make an
Inference

characters and plot details

• Your own experience
to fill in the missing details.
