    To Kill A Mockingbird word list in context:
    AFFLICTION, APPREHENSION, COMPASSION, CONFRONT, DETENTION, EVASION, FURTIVE, INGENUOUS, INQUISITIVE, MALIGNANT, PROMINENT, PROPENSITY, PROVOCATION, RELENT, REMORSE, RESILIENT, SPECULATION, STOLID, SULLEN, TRUANT

    John is a SULLEN teen who has been TRUANT often and served DETENTION many times. He has a PROPENSITY, not an AFFLICTION, to CONFRONT even faculty members who enjoy a PROMINENT position within the administration.
    Some teachers have APPREHENSION that John will continue to be FURTIVE. They recognize he is RESILIENT and INGENUOUS as he plans an EVASION from scheduled classes. It disappoints them that even if they CONFRONT him, he remains STOLID and shows no REMORSE at any PROVOCATION, he causes.
    One teacher made an idle SPECULATION that perhaps John is too INQUISITIVE and not a MALIGNANT influence on other students. Mrs. Lawer urges the faculty show COMPASSION and RELENT in their ideas of punitive treatments.
