Considering the basics of the book that he was given, his prediction about the…

Hanna is illiterate and can 't defend herself properly. She is embarrassed at the fact that she is illiterate and does not want to let anyone know of her inability. This story helps bring back memories too when I was in 1st grade and had trouble reading.
