Analyzing Inner Feelings

Students read a passage about Darren waiting by the library steps and use clues from the text to understand his emotional state. They analyze his actions, responses, and the setting to infer what he is feeling and why he avoids the usual bus route. Learners must interpret subtle behavior and explain how environment contributes to mood and meaning. By answering inference-based questions, students deepen their ability to recognize emotional cues in characters and draw logical conclusions supported by evidence. This worksheet strengthens comprehension of complex emotional contexts in narrative writing.
