Show transcript
In the book, Joseph has had very negative experiences of schooling which cause him to be anxious about attending.
When we read, we often think about characters' motives.
We base our understanding of motives partly on what is made explicit by the author.
We may also infer motives based on the characters' actions, our own knowledge and our experiences.
