Hello dear blog readers! My group and I have finished "The Hobbit". My impressions are in general quite good, but I must say that I like the movies more than I like the book, simply because the climax is dragged out to one whole move, instead of just fifteen pages in the book. This week my role was to be the word enricher, and the role of the enricher is to give fourteen words, write the paragraph and page they are on, and give their definitions. Here is the list of the words that I found interesting between pages 200 and 306:
1. Here is a sample: 222,6 (Page and paragraph), Whirring (Word), to produce a vibrating or buzzing sound (definition). There was a whirring sound to be heard in the basement (sentence, only 5 words).
1. 219,2. Whirring. To produce a vibrating or buzzing sound. The whirring sound was spreading throughout the caves.
2. 230,2. Lure. To tempt or attract someone or something. I was luring the the mouse into a trap using cheese.
3. 263,1. Fragrance. A pleasant and sweet smell. I was testing out the Fragrance of the many perfumes in the shop.
4. 266,1. Parley. Discussing diplomatic matters; such as declaring a true. "I will never parley with my greatest enemy!" said the knight.
5. 266,4. Weariness. A physical or mental exhaustion. Weariness had taken me after the day of work at the farm.
6. 275,3. Casket. A coffin; for burial. We witnessed the casket with the body being taken into the grave; it was a sad occasion.
7. 278,5. Deceit. Concealing the truth; for whatever purpose. He had a very deceitful look in his eyes, like he was not telling me something.
8. 283,2. Multitude. A great number or host. In front of the city walls, a great multitude of warriors assembled.
9. 287,3. Smite. To hit with great strength; to hit very hard. He smite the man to the ground, and slew him.
10. 291,3. Re-doubled. To double someone once again. They re-doubled the player once again in order to make him not score any points.
11. 297,2. Withered. To fade or to decay.
12. 298,2. Gloaming. Twilight, the period before the night.
13. 305,1. Tilled. To labor and to work around.
14. 304,1. Queer. Unusually different; odd in a way.
After finishing the book, my group and I will start reading "The Life of Pi". I am looking foward to the book! Tune in for more posts! NL
