We read from page 90 to 180 in Anne Frank. These are the words that I didn't know.
Page 91, Paragraph 1 "Nothing but tumult and uproar yesterday,"
Tumult - an uproar; great confusion of mind.
Everything was tumult inside the barn.
Page 92, Paragraph 4, "...air raid warning, ack-ack fire..."
Ack-ack - anti-aircraft gunfire.
Ack-ack fire raged outside the building.
Page 94, Paragraph 3 "She is well known as being very pushing, selfish, cunning...also add vanity and coquetry to the list."
Coquetry - flirtatious behavior.
Coquetry should really be put to an end.
Page 96, Paragraph 2 "I sleep on the little divan..."
Divan - a bed without a foot board or head board.
The divan in my house is very uncomfortable.
Page 98, Paragraph 4 "...and at four o' clock the pedantic doctor is standing, clock in hand..."
Pedantic - fastidious, noticing very little details.
"Don't be so pedantic," I told her as she cried over a dot on her painting.
Page 117, Paragraph 3 "Diphtheria reigns in Elli's home..."
Diphtheria - a contagious disease that often makes breathing and swallowing hard.
A strong case of diphtheria has taken over the entire neighborhood.
