 These are words from Chapter 4. (pages 75-77)

1. contemporaries (n) (line 23)

2. disaffected (adj) (line 54)

3. expertise (n) (line 5)

4. frustrated (adj) (line 10)

5. obsession (n) (line 15)

6. sentiment (n) (line 27)

7. slighted (adj) (line 24)

8. stimulation (n) (line 69)

9. notion (n) (line 48)

10. focus (n) (line 12)

 

For each word do the following:

  1. Find the word in the article and try to guess the meaning of the word from context.  See how the word is used in the article.  That is the meaning I want you to find in the dictionary. Notice the part of speech that I give. 
  2. Look up the definition in the dictionary and write it down.
  3. See if there is a collocation for the word.  If so, write it down.

 4. Write your own sentence.  Try to use the collocation if you found one for the word. Use the part of speech that I give.   For example, if it says (n), use the word as a noun. This needs to be a complex or a compound sentence that has something to do with your life or what is happening in the world right now.  Underline the vocabulary word in the sentence.  Check for correct grammar.
