Friday Blog: Week Two

This week I read Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork pages 148-312, finishing the book. While I was reading I came across a few words I was unfamiliar with.
Vocab: 
Aberration p.167 a departure from what is normal, usual, or expected, typically one that is unwelcome.
Contravene  p.182 violate the prohibition or order of (a law, treaty, or code of conduct).
Strewn p.223 scatter or spread (things) untidily over a surface or area.
Cajole p.235 persuade someone to do something by sustained coaxing or flattery.
Knoll p.246 a small hill or mound
Azure p.257 bright blue in color, like a cloudless sky.
Unabashed p.262 not embarrassed, disconcerted, or ashamed.
Indefatigable p.281 (of a person or their efforts) persisting tirelessly
Inchoate p.304 just begun and so not fully formed or developed; rudimentary.
