Inference

We discussed the term inference in class yesterday. Write a one paragraph essay explaining what inference means. Use appropriate language that would indicate you were paying attention in class. Use an example as well. I look forward to your work.

An inference is a wonderful tool used for reading literature. When you make an inference, you are making a prediction based on your evidence or background knowledge. For example, If a young man was hunched over with his cleats slung over his shoulder, and he was walking out of the Newport Harbor football stadium. You would infer that he was cut from the team, or he lost a game. An inference is a useful tool in reading literature.

An inference is what is used to well predict something For example, " I infer Amelia Earhart crashed into the sea.". An inference can be used for a lot of scientists because they infer that well many things. I infer Amelia Earhart that she hadn't wanted to listen to Fred Noonan and felt that to her senses wanted to take the another route. Inferences are used all of he time but instead you might say i think or i predict.

An inference is a conclusion reached by the evidence given. It is a very important appliance in reading, because it helps you predict or form a statement about something using the clues provided. For example, if there is student who walks into school late with dark circles under his eyes, a tired face, a slouched back, and unfinished homework, you may conclude that he stayed up very late and overslept in the morning. Inferences are drawn very easily, you don't really have to think hard because they just come to you. An inferences is an important device that will help you better understand what you're reading.

An inference is a statement based on evidence or an inferred conclusion. For example:say there is a little girl crying on the floor. You can come to the conclusion that something is wrong. Inference is a tool used in reading. Inference also means a prediction from the evidence you have read in a sentence or story.

An inference is a good way of predicting something. You infer by making a conclusion from the evidence and/or background knowledge. For example, a man walks into a grocery store. He finds the carrots, lettuce, spinach, and water he wants. You could infer that he is a vegetarian or he is on a diet. An inference is a great predicting method in reading stories where the author doesn't tell what he/she is doing, going, or is.

An inference is a very affective device to use in literature. An inference is a conclusion or judgement based on clues and knowledge from past experiences. For example, if you walk into your friends room and everything is turquoise, you can assume that your friend likes turquoise. All in all, making inferences are a very important source of literature.

An inference is a great tool used for reading and writing literature. Making an inference is a like a guess based on your backround knowledge or eveidence thats helps support you. For exaample if a father comes home after a day at work and he is in a really great mood you could make an inference that he was promoted or he got payed alot extra for his work.

An inference is a great literary tool to use with reading and writing and can help people with pulling conclusions from imformation. EX: if you see a man that looks really sad and he has a wedding ring tan without a ring on it you could infer that he is recently devorced or in a fight with his wife.

If you are reading a story,but you'r not quite there yet. You can make an inference about what YOU think will happen. Lets say there's a little boy who walks into a candy store. He comes out with a huge bag of candy. Then he starts gobbeling the candy up. What inference can you make about the boy.

(P.S. Answer is he likes candy)

An inference is a conclusion drawn from evidence or responding. It’s a process of deriving logical conclusion. The conclusion that is drawn is called an idiomatic. An inference is also a logic process of reasoning a premise to a conclusion.

Isabella Crafton said...

When you make a inference you are drawing a conclusion based on evidence from background knowledge. It is a very usefull tool that many authors use. For example, in the story Amelia Earhart First Lady of Flight,we can make an inference that Amelia and Fred could have been spies on for the U.S. government. The evidence we can use from the story is why would she switch courses? Why did the government build a runway especially for Amelia? This theory of Amelia Earhart's disappearence is made from an inference.

tatum rausch inference is an awesome tool used for reading writing and listening to stories .When you make an inference you are taking a guess based on proof and evidence. For example’’ I infer the girl wearing the ring on her hand is married’’. An inference is also like an conclusion or implication.in conclusion an inference is an awesome tool to use.

Scott Faludi said...

An inference is a wonderful literary devise. When you’re making an inference you’re basically guessing what the conclusion is going be. Lets say a women is going to a grocery store. She buys a gallon of milk a dozen donuts and a whole pineapple. She goes home and eats it all. What can you tell about this woman?
(P.S the answer is that she eats allot.)

Melanie Nunez said...

An inference is implication that is involved with evidence. When you make an inference your making a prediction that is based with your background knowledge. For example: You come to class with a red,burning face. You and you say " Get your text book out! Hurry!" You can infer he is in a bad mood and very disapointed. An infrence is a very important tool thay will heplp you understand while your reading.

An inference is a literary tool used in reading. You can probably predict something by the details you are reading. This is a simple inference: A man can touch the ceiling in the huge house. You can infer the man is tall. An inference is predicting. Your tools to infer are the details.

Billy said...

Everybody in the world use inferences or background knowledge. An inference is an amazing tool made for using literature. When you make an inference you are making a prediction based on your back ground knowledge. For example if a fish is floating you can tell that is dead, or if a girl is crying you can tell if she was just dumped. An inference is a useful tool in our life.

An inference is the conflict in the story. Such as the boy stole some candy that is the conflict in the story he stole something that cost money. Another inference is if you punch a boy the inference is he punched a girl when you’re not supposed to hurt a girl. Last example is the girl got lost conflict is she is lost. Those are some of the examples of a conflict.

Britney Hearron said...

An inference is a great reading strategy you can also use an inference in writing. Using inference is like predicting what’s going to happen. For example a woman buys a huge bag of candy near Halloween time. So you think about it for a little while and you make an inference about it she is getting candy for kids who knock at her door while trick or treating. Inference she is getting prepared for Halloween.

Live Ink is not very useful because I lost my place every single time when I scrolled down. Second, you have to scroll down to get the story that you want and in a book you could track with your finger and turn a page normally. Finally, there are no pictures to see the images of people and entertainment. Conclusion I thought this program was stupid.

Such perfect water glistening
Right before my eyes
There is a devil on my left
And a god on my right
Witch path should I take
Witch path is right
Eternal life sounds great
But what should I do with my wife

broken the cycle of life
broken the cycle of the current

the water no longer moves it
the current left it years ago
i am a hopeless boat now with nowhere else to go






no longer in the current

but now i am stuck you see

stuks in the muck
same as angus tuck

never again to be in the flow
of the river i used to know

The difference between doers and dreamers is like the difference between ice-cream and asparagus. Ice- cream dreams about what he wants to achieve. While asparagus go out and complete her dreams. doers will always achieve more in life
