Infer the Meaning

Good Morning!
As we conclude our poetry unit, I would like for us to analyze some Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. Choose one of them, and analyze the character's conversation and actions. In your post, make an inference about the ending of the strip. Notice how in none of the choices the author provides an explicit conclusion.

Note: Remember to write your name!

¡Buenos Días!
