2 Conspicuous Context from Unwind: (page 33) In the morning the Caldershave to eat breakfast in the dining room, with all the leaves in the table. All of Lev s brothers and sisters are there. Only a few of them still live at home, but today they ve all come over for breakfast. All of them, that is, except Marcus. Yet, for such a large family it s unusually quiet, and the clatter of silverware on china makes the lack of conversation even more conspicuous.

3 Conspicuous Adjective Definition: obvious to the eye or mind; attracting attention Synonym: noticeable

4 Conspicuous Which of these shows something that is conspicuous?

5 Conspicuous Think of a scenario in which a person would not want to be conspicuous. Antonym: inconspicuous (meaning not easily noticeable) Which applies best to Lev, Connor, and Risa?

6 Condescending Context from Unwind: (page 47) No, says Risa, but if we re clever about it instead of rushing into this blind, we ll have a better chance. Her words or maybe just her intentionally condescending tone makes Connor storm off.

14 Nihilistic Context from Unwind: (page 98-99) Connor notices the kid has four parallel scratch marks on one side of his face, consistent with fingernails. The girl has a black eye. It s not the end of the world, she grumbles. Just the end of us. You re beautiful when you re nihilistic, says the smirker. Shut up. You re only saying that because you don t know what nihilistic means. Risagives Connor a look, and he knows what she s thinking. We have to suffer through four days with this crew?

15 Nihilistic From the noun, nihilism Definition of nihilism: a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are worthless and that existence is senseless and useless Part of speech for nihilistic:
