...and some more!

1. whimsical - Amby is a very whimisical child. We never know what she's going to do next.

2. indifferent - When it comes to the criticism of others, I am very indifferent. I only care about what I want to be and not what other want me to be.

3. equivocate - In debate competitions, we have to say things that equivocate. We can't let the other team have a statement that is easy for them to prove.

4. capricious - In competitions, I can be extremely capricious. No one knows when I'll do something because i'm very impulsive and unpredictable.

5. arbitrary - When I want things, I can be very arbitrary. I do things without thinking just to get my way.

6. ambiguous - At times, I can be very ambiguous. Sometimes I can be happy but other times very serious. People interpret me in different ways.

7. wily - Every year, a new group of wily sixth graders enter Chinquapin and look for ways to get along with as many people as possible.

8. wary - My nephew became very wary when he saw my graduation dress. He wanted to make sure I wasn't showing anything inappropriate.

9. disingenuous - I hate when people are disingenuous. I'd prefer for them to be straightforward rather than to beat around the bush.

10. spurious - Teenagers always tend to make spurious claims to make themselves appear "cool." Little do they know, everyone already knows about what they claim already.

11. ostentatious - Tons of wealthy people constantly try to wear name brand clothing as an ostentatious display of their wealth. They can't help but show off their great amount of wealth.

12. suppressed - The Class of 2010's commencement speaker's name was suppressed because they wanted it to be a surprise. They didn't want people finding out about it and telling others about it.

13. quandary - My sister was in a quandary because she didn't know if the aloe vera would help her daughter's severe burn. She was perplexed as to the effect it would have.

14. obscure - Today I saw a sticker that said something really disturbing to me. When I showed my dad, he didn't understand. The sticker had an obscure meaning. It was hidden and not everyone understood it.

15. objectivity - Teachers have to look at disciplinary issues with objectivity in order to give a fair punishment. If they let their personal feelings get in the way, they may not give a fair punishment.

16. arbiter - I've heard that sometimes parents who aren't married or involved at all have to get an arbiter to help them decide who gets custody of their child/ren and when the other can see him/her/them/.

17. conflagration - When in California, we learned about times where a conflagration killed huge areas of wildlife recreation. A day after we came home, a conflagration took place. The widespread fire destroyed an area that we backpacked in.
