In the story The Bean Trees, a high school graduate named Taylor hits the road and stops at a gas station. There she finds a baby inside her car, which she names Turtle, because of its strong grip. I predict that she will become attached to the child. Nick-naming the turtle shows the connection between the two, so now she won't leave the baby. I also predict that "Turtle" and Taylor will live on the road, trying to find where they really belong
You have a good start, but I would suggest adding more evidence about your predictions. Why do you think they'll live on the road? Was there any symbolism or foreshadowing you found?
