Inference is to infer meaning that isn’t directly stated in the text, e.g: Is family important to the main character? It doesn’t directly say that it is but there is evidence to show that it is.  Author’s like to ‘show not tell’ when they write.  Why is the main character’s grandfather important to him?  The grandfather is important to Ioane because he had to drop out of school for him and he also got a special proposal from him.

Read the text completely - take note of it’s narrative structure: what is the scene/setting, characters, plot, problem, and resolution (these last two may require some thought and discussion).  It is taken place in the Pacific Islands and it is a sunny day. The characters are the tattooist, Papa, Ioane, Mum, Child and Strangers. The plot is in a Marae. The problem is that the black octopus is hoarding the channel. The resolution was that Ioane cut open the black octopus and black blood spilled over him.
