Nonchalant -- unconcerned; elegantly casual
Prosaic--lacking imagination; ordinary
Malevolent -- evil
Benevolent -- kindly; good
Amoral -- lacking a sense of right and wrong
Vex -- to frustrate; to annoy

Finally, in class on Tuesday we wrote the second journal of the short story unit (Journal #2: October 6th) .  The prompt is as follows:

If you had life or death power over someone (living or dead) who you despised, would you use it? Describe the situation in which you and the the other person find yourselves.  Then, explain the choice you make.
