Dystopian book inferences

"Ender smiled back. He felt comfortable with Graff. Graff was good."
I know that if you feel more comfortable around someone, you connect better.
Inference is that they form a bond

"Does anyone else have their locker open?" The man looked around. "I mean have you followed directions and coded in your voices and hands"
The guy is obviously upset at everyone except Ender
Inference: Ender is better than everyone else and will be the "choosen one"

Dystopian Prediction


I think that by the end of my book which is "Ender's Game" Ender or Andrew (same person) will be an important part in defeating the buggers who are the enemies on a different planet. Ender in the beginning of the book has his monitor removed which leads him to believe he was out of luck to be special, until a man named graff shows up to his house and tells him having the monitor removed was part of the test and he passed. He has gone further than his two siblings and now he's at a special war camp.

The jacket thesis paragraph

In The Jacket, Gary Soto illustrates how life has disappointments and how there are two ways to deal with one of many disappointments in life. The story begins with the main character asking his mother for a new jacket that he really wants, really bad. When he receives the coat, he is disappointed with the looks of the jacket. This causes the main character to be sad and have a bad attitude because the kids at school all talk about his jacket..  One night he realizes that the jacket is special. He slipped the jacket on and realized it had been through so many things with him.

Romeo and Juliet end prediction


Romeo and Juliet love eachother but they are from rival families and it would be bad if they came together and married. The Friar thinks it would bring the two families together. Tylbalt will try to kill Romeo and will end up being more than just Romeo being killed.

Romeo and Juliet story/characters/context

The main character has emotions like being super sad because the girl he loves doesn't love him back. The main character has no intentions of finding another girl. A theme that seems to be in the story is that he finds another girl and talks with her and kisses her.

Important quotes:
My only love, sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me
That I must love a loathed enemy

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my loveAnd I'll no longer be a Capulet.
