Question

suppose you read a story about a young boy who becomes an ward winning author by writing about the lessons we learned from his 80 year old neighbor . what can you infer about the culture this story comes from?

Answer 1

This culture sounds like an early 1900's, mid 1800's culture. Back then, people respected the elders in their communities, oftentimes going over for a chat or a cup of tea. The saying "respect thy elders" comes from that era.

If you are talking about a certain culture, like an African, American, European, etc., it would probably be an Asian culture. Asian children are taught at an early age to respect and mind all elders, including their older siblings.

If you are talking about religion...every religion tells the kids to respect their elders!

Answer 2

There really a lot you can infer  from that for example:

That same kid could be really inlfuence by what he has read 

somebody in his family couldve been a famous writer and he followed in they footsteps

THey also couldve been really depressed and the let it out by writing

 its alot you can infer from that.
