Hey Daniel,
ReplyDeleteNice choices for words for the Boy in Striped Pajamas. You defined the words, put them into context, and explained them correctly, which is good, because that is what you are supposed to do.
Next Steps:
Instead of just stating the sentence you chose, you can write your thoughts of why the definition fits the context of the sentence, and reflect a bit more on the definitions. Overall, nice work, there's always room to improve
