This glossary assignment, was surprising because i did not expect to find so many words that i did not know. For this assignment i did slack off a bit by not explaining the meaning of the word in the context it is used in. I have not really used any of the words so far in normal usage but there may be a time i could uses these words. This assignment was a good one because it helps with the reading process, since it lets you help understand what is happening in the story instead of not know what is being said cause of a word. This assignment would help me greatly later on as i get to read more and i can be more aware of how important not knowing what a word means to the story.

“who curled up each night exhausted in her red-and-brownplaid fabric, and slept and slept, until the husband had to wake her to awaken her mother”
For my mothers birthday i made her a shawl for hot summer days to protect her from the sun.
quizzical
quizzical – odd, queer, or comical.
“I reached for the closest rag, and picked up this piece of blanket that my father always kept with him for some reason. And as I picked it up and wiped the blood off his face, I said to him, Your nose is crooked again. He looked at me, steady and quizzical, as though he had never had a drink in his life, and I wiped his face again with that frayed piece of blanket.”
The Shawl BY LOUISE ERDRICH

My neighbors ghost is unshriven, turning on and off the air conditioner.
