Glossary #3

“Brave We Are” by Tahira Naqvi uses a wide range of vocabulary. For instance, the word hybrid stuck out to me because it was very repetitive throughout the story. Kasim kept asking his mother for the definition of it and kept getting frustrated because his mother would try to avoid the question or work her way around it. She finally replied ” it’s sort of a mixture, a combination of different sorts of things”. She clearly had the right idea but wasn’t quite sure what it meant.

With this definition we can see that she wasn’t completely wrong she just did not specific definition.
