Mas!

1. Eclectic – All of the students at school have a very eclectic fashion sense. I’ve never seen people dress so differently before.
2. Dilettante – I can’t help people with their science work because I am a dilettante who understands nothing about the subject.
3. Anthology – “Where the Sidewalk Ends” by Shel Silverstein is an anthology that contains a lot of her greatest poems.
4. Sanction – In Dave’s American Government class we learned that the United States, under the Kennedy administration, imposed sanctions over Cuba in order to protest Fidel Castro’s dictatorship.
5. Impinge – By telling the Yearbook Staff that the yearbook would possibly be published in black and white, Liz impinged their dreams of having an all color book.
6. Amenable – Since no one had really planned things for the beach house we wanted to rent, everyone seemed amenable when I showed them a house we could rent and the price we could get it for. They were very excited.
7. Transient – My mom always tells me to travel and do all of the things I love to do now before I have to settle down and give up my, oh so loved, transient lifestyle.
8. Elusive – Amby’s constant smiles are elusive when trying to take a picture of her because she doesn’t like people to take pictures of her smiling.
9. Inveterate – My siblings are very inveterate Pentecostals; they’ve never known anything other than being a Pentecostal.
10. Innate – Most people have are born being able to listen. To some it is an innate ability, but others are born not being able to hear.
