Wednesday 3/20

Journal:  Respond to the quote below:

"Then, I don't know why, but something inside me snapped.  I started yellling a the top of my lungs, and I insulted him and told him not to waste his prayers on me.  I was pouring out on him everything that was in my heart, cries of anger and cries of joy."   *Consider what Mersault is feeling here.

1.  Vocabulary:  Synonym review:  Ch. 8

indisputable evidence
banter of the morning talk show
claimed a crime was committed
an idea that permeates all aspects of society
the egregious corruption
crushed by the force of the wind
a listeless response
foreshadows dangers to come
tried to placate both sides
wore a very grotesque mask
will aggravate tensions between the rivals
the upper levels of power
slog through the seemingly endless files
