  1. Never heard of curmudgeon before. sounds like a made up word. but it is funny cuz i wouldn't think it would mean what it means.

  4. This quiz is going to be easy I've heard most of these before.. I don't know if anyone would be interested but freerice.com was a website I was introduced to a few years back. You learn interesting new words and it's not for everyone because it is kind of like a quiz way of learning. But every correct answer you get they donate I believe ten grains of rice to help end world hunger. Like I said, it's not for everyone but because of it this quiz will be easier for me than most so I'd say it's worth checking into.

    1. Does anyone know what kind of quiz it is? I hate to say multiple choice because I feel we are above that. It justs makes it easier to study when you know whats coming.

    1. The best I could do was study the definitions tht seemed they would relate to poetry or the class. Other than that i don't know.

  8. Do we have to turn in the definitions or are they just for us to study?
