Vocab. For Ch. 12-13

- Imbued : to inspire/influence thoroughly (pg. 238, paragraph 2). I wanted the group to discuss why he used the grass to compare with his survival in prison.
- Revelation : an act of revealing/disclosing (pg. 238, paragraph 3). I wanted the group to discuss how this act affected Baca.
- Brooded : thinking deeply about something that makes one unhappy/depressed (pg. 241, paragraph 1). I wanted the group to discuss why Baca felt this way after trying to drink his coffee.
- Paltry : worthless, ridiculously small (pg. 243, paragraph 3). The group should discuss why we think Baca feels this way about his life.
- Trepidation : nervous/fearful feeling of uncertain agitation (pg. 247, paragraph 1). The group should discuss why Baca feels so fearful if he's about to be free.
- Vulnerable : open to attack/damage (pg. 257, paragraph 5). Throughout the last couple of chapters, Baca repeats that he feels vulnerable. I would like the group to discuss why he feels that way if he's a grown man.
