4. Formal Paragraph Exemplar #1 Calpurnia is gonna experience racial inequality and discriminatory at some point in the story. And the kids will meet boo eventually. Formal Paragraph Exemplar #2 I can make several predictions so far. Calpurnia may experience racial inequallity and discrimination at some point in the poem. The presentation covered information about racial segregation. Because Calpurnia is the only African American. She will experience racial inequality and discrimination. These are predictions I made.

5. Formal Paragraph Exemplar #3 There are many predictions to be drawn about the novel To Kill a Mockingbird based upon the events in the first chapter and the introductory presentation given in class. It is possible that Calpurnia may experience racial inequality and discrimination at some point in the story. The presentation over the novel covered a lot information about racial segregation and discrimination that African Americans experienced in the 1930s. Because Calpurnia is the only African American to appear in the novel so far, it can be assumed that she will experience racial inequality and discrimination as the story progresses. A second prediction that can be made following the events in chapter 1 is that the children are going to eventually make contact with Boo Radley. Their desire to see Boo is illustrated when Dill said, “[l]et’s try to make him come out ... I’d like to see what he looks like” (Lee 16). Scout, Jem, and Dill seem so intent upon meeting the recluse that it seems to be foreshadowing of a future meeting between them.Each of these reasonable predictions is supported by either the presentation given to class or the events that unfolded in chapter 1 of To Kill a Mockingbird.
