  3. Lucas,

    You're right. I hadn't quite thought of this novel as a loving tale... I view this piece as a heart wrenching journey of bravery and resilience.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Lucas created a great vocab question. What strategy could we use to figure out an answer? Could we think of an antonym and then add a prefix? For example sufficient is an antonym for inadequate
      ... so then we add the prefix in and get insufficient ... any other ideas?
