Chapter Sixteen Vocabulary


hypocrite squalor contemplated eccentric
subtle succumbed inconsolable recluse

Write a story using each of the vocabulary words. Show the meaning in your sentences for each word.

For example: I contemplated going to Fort Smith for school but I decided against it because I wanted to stay in my community. My mother was inconsolable when she thought that I would be away for an extended period of time. I finally succumbed to the subtle pressure that my family put on me to stay in my community. I hope that I don't become a recluse and spend all my time in my house. My town is really nice but sometimes there is so much squalor that it is hard to see its beauty. I don't like the hypocrites who say one thing and then do another. I do like the eccentric people in the community who are unique and follow their own path.
