Good readers make and change their predictions as they read.  Look back on the prediction you made in Post #1.  How would you change your prediction now that you are almost halfway through your novel and indicate which specific event caused your prediction to change.  If your prediction could still be correct, tell us about an event that makes you stick with your original prediction.
