Maya H: The Girl I Used to Be
In The Girl I Used To Be there is a character named Duncan, I infer that Olivia and Duncan like each other. When they met each other they were at her dad's funeral (after they found out he didn’t kill the mom) but no one knew it was really her. When they are talking to each other at the funeral they are being really awkward, if they hadn’t liked each other I think that the there conversation would’ve been more casual. When they leave Olivia says to Duncan “Nice talking to you.” He responds “Maybe I’ll stop by next time I'm at Nora’s.” Nora is Olivia’s new neighbor, when they are saying these things to each other they say them really awkwardly. Later in the book something happens and Duncan says that they should pretend to be dating because of something I can’t say. After she agrees to this, she thinks in her head “I want to be more than his pretend girlfriend.” In real life, you wouldn’t want to date someone (for real, not pretend) unless you liked them.

Chloe B: George
My inference: I think that Kelly is happy that George stuck with becoming a girl and then he became one. At the end of the book Kelly invites George (a.k.a. Melissa) to go to the zoo with her dressed as a girl and as a girl. Kelly is glad that George is now truly a girl. And he is happy.

Ben S. I Funny
Visit Ben's Voki Here: http://tinyurl.com/j8nomqy
I am happy because of the planet’s funniest kid comic contest. I know this because I love being famous, and because of the contest I get to be on tv. Also I really like to have fun and because of the contest I get to go to las angeles and las angeles is a lot of fun as you can imagine. All of these things have to do with my inference because all of them have to with the contest and all of them make me happy!

Kate S. The Running Dream
The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen
I can infer that Jessica, from The Running Dream, is determined because when she was home alone she took a shower by herself with no leg and no help. Jessica had a hard time getting in the shower and finding a comfortable position, but she pushed through and was successful. Another way I can prove Jessica is determined is that at the point when she was training for her race she was to run pushing Rosa in a wheel-chair. Everytime she went out to train she would push herself harder each time. Jessica would take her old wheel-chair and fill it up with sandbags and heavy things to imitate Rosa. She would run her path until she was done, and she would never stop or give up.
I know what my inference stated is true because a determined person would not stop and just give up, they would give it their all until they accomplished their task, just as Jessica did. If she wasn’t determined Jessica wouldn’t have even tried to do things that were challenging for herself, let alone run in the 10 mile race with her Prosthetic running leg. When things got hard she would’ve just given up and stopped trying, rather than pushing until you meet your goals. That is my reasoning for my inference Jessica, from The Running Dream, is determined.
