M1 U1 L3 – Text Dependent Questions
1.
How do the events in this poem connect to the first poem we
read, “1975:Year of the Cat,” and the title of the novel, Inside Out
& Back Again? (two parts to this question – did you answer
both?)
Model Answer:
The events in this poem connect to the first poem through the
words “foretells” and “predicts.”
This is apparent through the use of “foretells” in the first poem
(stanza 3), and “he predicts our lives will twist inside out” in the
second poem (stanza 1).
Secondly, the author uses the same phrase for the title of the
book and the title of this poem, therefore emphasizing “inside
out.”

2.
The fortune teller foretells that their “lives will turn
inside out” (p.4, stanza 1). I infer that this means
that change will happen, probably negatively. Ha
says that their food “will be smeared in blood”
(stanza 4), which is a negative thought about the
future.
