THURSDAY - 9/25 - Inside Out & Back Again
- Learning Targets for Today
Based on the novel, what can you infer about what will happen to Ha and her family? Be sure to use details from the text to support your answer.
I think that Ha’s family will have to deal with serious problems because of the war. I believe this because Ha says that the fortune teller “predicts our lives will twist inside out.” This means something big is going to change for her family, probably not in a good way. For example, she says “Maybe soldiers will no longer patrol our neighborhood,” and “maybe I can jump rope after dark,” but in stanza three she hears that something on the playground will be “smeared with blood.” These details about soldiers and blood make it sound really scary, like things are getting dangerous. I believe that Ha’s family is in danger.
