Job: Vocabulary Enricher
Fever 1793 is one of the strangest books I have ever read. The book made me cry and smile at the same time! From the deep part about Mattie's grandfather dying, her feelings for Nathaniel, her Mother's disappearance, and to the terrible thieves.
But anyway, this week my job is vocabulary enricher! I had to find words that are either important or unknown while I was read the book, so here they are! :)

Thistle: a widely distributed herbaceous plant of the daisy family, which typically has a prickly stem and leaves and rounded heads of purple flowers.
Sentence of my own: Thistles! They're really beautiful, I should get some for mother.
----
Dew - Pg.89 , paragraph #7
Definition:
Dew: tiny drops of water that form on cool surfaces at night, when atmospheric vapor condenses.
Sentence of my own: This morning, the grass was wet with dew.

Preyed - Pg.101 , paragraph #6

Prey: hunt and kill for food.
Sentence of my own: The wolf preyed the bird, even devouring its' small feathers.
----
