Chapter8

1)Unfathomable- something that can not be understood.
Eg.For reasons unfathomable to the most experienced prophets in Maycomb county, autumn turned to winter that year (p. 68)."
2)Caricatures-An element of a person which certain features of that person are exaggerated or distorted.
Eg. "'You can't for around making caricatures of the neighbors (p. 72).' "
3)Quelled- overwhelm something until it is powerless or unable to defend itself.
Eg."The tin roof of Miss Maudie's house quelled the flames because tin cannot burn so the fire was eventually stopped."(p.75)
4)Morphodite-(hermaphrodite) animal or plant that has both female and male reproductive organs.
Eg." '...erected an absolute morphodite in that yard (p. 72).' "
