PREDICTION

• Maggie predicts that Penny is going to learn things about-
• her father.

ANALyZING

• "I dont plan on dying until im at least 100."-page 2

• This proves that Penny is very open minded and likes to think-
• about things that are worth thinking about.

SYNTHESIZING

• All of the little things that Penny does to the milk man-
• proves that she does not like him and doesnt want him
• to become her new dad at all.

SUMMARIZING

• Penny's moms boyfriend is the milk man, and she doesnt
• like him. Then he comes over for dinner, and she tries
• to make him eat her grandma's nasty food. He
• doesnt know it is nasty until he actually tries it.
• Things go bad from there, so he leaves.

INFERING

• From all the things that Veronica did to Penny, we think
• Penny will get her back and become a hero because
• she defeated the bully all by herself.
