INFERENCING

Inferencing is the process of drawing of a conclusion

based on the evidence in a reading passage.
To identify the feelings of the characters or to infer the
character traits, we have to look on the three kinds of
evidence:
1. what the character says,
2. what the character does, and
3. what other characters say about them.

With this, we can deduce the characterization

presented by the character and its feeling shown in the
any materials.
