//Infallible//- I chose this word because I didn't know what it meant. Pip says, (page uknown) "So now, as an infallible way of making little ease great ease, I began to contract a quantity of debt."

//Trenchant//- I picked this word because I didn't know what it meant. Pip uses it to describe his sister in the second page of chapter 2. "My sister had a trenchant way of cutting bread-and-butter for us."

//Fleeter//-I chose this word because I didn't know what the meaning of it was. Pip says uses it in the first page of chapter 47. He says " Let me start from my bed as I would, with the terror fresh upon me that he was discovered; let me sit listening as I would, with dread, for Herbert's returning step at night, lest it should be fleeter than ordinary, and winged with evil news;"

//exonerated -// I chose this word beacuse I had some idea of what it meant, but not exactly. I found this word at the top of page 37 when Pip is narrarating and says, "My state of mind reguarding the pilfering from which I had been so unexpectedly //expnerated// did not impel me to frank disclosure; but I hope it had some dregs of good at the bottom of it."

//restorative// - I chose this word because I did not know what it meant. I found it in the middle of page 38 when the book says, "As I came to myself (with the aid of a heavy thump between the shoulders, and the //restorative// exclamation, "Yah! Was there ever sich a boy as this!" from my sister.)"

//felicitous -// I selected this word because I didn't know what it meant. I found this word of the top of page 67 when Pip says, "The //felicitous// idea occured to me a morning or two later when I woke that the best step I could take towards making myself uncommon was to get out of Biddy everything she know."

//amalgamation -// I chose this word because I had never heard it before, and therefore I don't know what it means. I found it on page 142 when Pip says, "He mentioned that there was an opportunity for a great //amalagamation// and monopoly of the corn and seed trade on theose premises, if enlarged, such as had never occurred before in that, or any other neighbourhood."

//denunciations -// I selected this word becuase I didn't know what it meant. I found this word on page 186 when Pip says, "...I only know that when I stole out on tiptoe, he was not on the side of the bench, for he was making the legs of the old gentlemen who presided quite convulsive under the table by his //denunciations// of his conduct as the represtative of British law and justice in that chair that day."

//Ignominiously// I chose this word because i had no idea what it meant. I found it on page 60 when the book says "I soon found myself getting heavily bumped from behind in the nape of the neck and the small of the back, and having my face __ignominioulsy__ shoved against the kitchen wall.

//Disputatious// I chose this word because i don't understand what the word means, The context gives me a clue but i don't fully understand what they want it to mean. I found it on page 53 when the book says "I think it will be concealed by my most __disputatious__ reader."

//Trenchant// I chose this word because i need a better understanding of what it means. I found it on page 8 "My sister had a trenchant way of cutting out bread."

//Rheumatic// The way the book uses this word made me stumble threw the sentence because i don't understand it. I found it on page 15 when the book says "you've been lying out on the meshes, and they're dreadful aguish. Rheumatic too"

Remunerate I chose this word because i don't know what it means, I found this word on page 140 When the book says "

//church clerk// I selected this word because I didn't fully understand how Pip explained it. It's on pg. 21, "The church not being "thrown open", he was, as I have said, our clerk."

//corn-chandler// I selected this because I don't under stand why Pumblechook is so adored by others for being this. Isn't it a job as simple as a blacksmith? Pg. 21 "...and Uncle Pumblecook(Joe's Uncle, but Mrs. Joe appropriated him), who was a well-to-do corn-chandler in the nearest town......"

//acquiesced// I'm not sure how to pronounce this word, but I think it means "to agree" from the way it is used on page 181, "I acquiesced, of course, knowing nothing to the contrary."

//tarplaulin contrivance// just curious as to what this was, like an early tarp? It states it is "in the nature of an umbrella." on page 190

 Supercilious : I chose this word because it just happens to be really fun to say (no irony here, I am not supercilious). I think that it is in chapter 11. I'm not sure what sentence it is used in so here's a random one: "He curled his lip in a supercilious smile."

Vagabond : Quite an odd word I think! This is just a guess, but it may be in chapter 17. It sounds kind of.... tropical maybe. Another random sentence: "Pirate ships were vagabonds of the seas."

Capricious : I can't decide whether it sounds more like a disease or a fruit... So in a sentence: "A capricious summer breeze."

Pios : It's just an awesome word! And it just reminds me of the word bias... I like that word too... This word is somewhere in chapter 18 as far as I know but I'm not positive! Heres another randome sentence: "Sergeant, still in contemplative mode, chips in that we should not get too pious about a low turnout."

Sluices: This is a cool word that sounds like irt should be an emotion!!! But sadly it is not... Oh well... Random sentence: "An aggressive tide sluiced across the barrior reef."

I found it on page 60 when the book says "and having my face // ignominiously // shoved against the kitchen wall." // Contemplation- // I selected this word because Im not sure what it means. i found it on page 60 when he book says " before the contemplation of Mrs Joe."
