Example 1
Question : How do you think Mr. Cattanzara sees George? Support your answer with information from the story.
Carol Wolff
Answer
Thinking skill: Inferring
I think Mr. Cattanzara sees George as someone who reminds him of himself. I infer this from Mr. Cattanzara’s words: “Don’t do what I did” which means that once Mr. Cattanzara was in the same situation as George and he doesn’t want George to repeat his mistakes.

Example 2
Question :
How does what we learn about George’s family and / or his neighborhood help explain his situation at the beginning of the story?
Carol Wolff
Answer
Thinking skill: Explaining cause and effect
George’s family is poor and uneducated. The fact that he had no educated role model at home caused George to misunderstand the importance of education and also caused him to do nothing to improve his life.
