15) Inference: A conclusion based on one's knowledge and information from the story.
At the beginning of the story when Kyle starts telling his story to the cops of what happened I believed that Cass ended up dead in the wooden casket. I came to this conclusion because Kyle stated “She’s dead isn’t she? If she was alive, I wouldn’t be handcuffed to a table in an interview room. You’d take her statement before you’d come at me for a confession, right?” The officers gave Kyle a cold stare but did not reply. Because of this, from the first chapter on I believed Cass was going to die at the end. I thought I had the answer to the title of the book “What Happened to Cass McBride,” it was simple she died. I did not figure out till the last couple of chapters that she was going to make it out alive of her unwanted grave. When the police men found Kyle hurting his mother getting ready to kill her they asked him about Cass and he confessed to having kidnapped her. Kyle told the cops where he buried her and they hurried to the locale. In no time they dug op the wooden coffin, broke off the top and rushed Cass to the hospital. She had wounds all over her body and her skin was shredded to the bone. As time passed she began recovering her skin was getting back to normal, but she seemed to like small squished places. At night she would crawl into the metal locker in her room to talk into a tape recorder. Detail by detail she would explain what happened from the beginning when David asked her out to the end when she was in the metal locker.
