Blog Entry #12 - Vocabulary

1. Stop the Sun by Gary Paulsen
commotion, foundered, ruin, inert

         I was literally groaning and swearing the traffic jam at 5:00 yesterday afternoon when my dad was driving me home on his black motorcycle. As he struggled to proceed forward, I partly understood why we were still stuck on the road even though one hour had already passed. Further forward, we spotted a commotion surrounded by a crowded group of people. I saw one man with his hands on the hips, looking at something where other people were also looking at, made a face of disgust and said something to the man besides him. Don't these people have something else to do besides ... My thoughts suddenly foundered with schock when I saw a ruined  BWM on the ground where next to it was a smashed motorcycle laying inert and covered by bloody puddles.



2. Gentleman of Río en Medio by Juan A. A. Sedillo
negotiation, innumerable, boundaries, descendants

          Years ago in 20,000 BC, Naagarjun was occupated by the Dadarian Empire, and was forced to do backbreaking labor to serve the Dadarians' lives while they were mistreated by the Dadarians. People of the two empires kept on fighting generations later until the descendants of Naagarjun were exhausted  and went to negotiate with the Dadarian Empire about the peace truce between the two empires if the Dadarian Empire agreed to give Naagarjun's people back their freedom. The Dadarian Empire denied, and Naagarjun therefore was impatient, starting to wage a war on the Dadarian Empire. Through intelligent strategies and a quite adequately equipped army, Naagarjun managed to take back all of their land and the innumerable resources it had. By 18, 000 BC, Naagarjun finally got its independence, claiming its boundaries and began to organize a potential wealthy empire.
