For literacy circles we started reading our second book Falling Leaves written by Adeline Yen Mah. The book is about Adeline Yen Mah's life. We were assigned to read until chapter 3. I was assigned as vocabulary and picked out words I was confused with and the words I didn't understand what it meant. So I wrote the words with the definition I searched up and which page and paragraph the word is from the book.
Pg. 15, paragraph 5: Concession: Noun: 1. A thing that is granted especially in response to demands. 2. A preferential allowance or rate given by an organisation.
Pg. 13, paragraph 1: Fiefdoms: Noun: 1. A fief. 2. A territory or sphere of operation controlled by a particular person or group.
Pg. 11, paragraph 3: Lateral: Adjective: 1. Of at, towards, or from side or sides. 2. Involving lateral thinking. Noun: 1. A side part of something, especially a shoot or branch growing out from the side of a stem. 2. A lateral consonant.
Pg. 10, paragraph 1: Spacious: Adjective: (Especially of a room or building) having ample space.
Pg. 10, paragraph 3: Sublimate: Verb: (In psychoanalytic theory) divert or modify (an instinctual impulse) into a culturally higher or socially more acceptable activity. 2. Another term for sublime. Noun: a solid deposit of a substance which has sublimed.
Pg. 9, paragraph 2: Feudal: Adjective: According to, resembling, or denoting the system of feudalism.
