Presentation Transcript

  1. Vigilance Alert watchfulness “All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.”

  2. Advantage A beneficial factor “Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.”

  3. Bandits Robbers “His thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm.”

  4. Burdened Something that is carried “They were burdened with sash weights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in.”

  5. Gesture To show or express feeling with your body “They were burdened with sash weights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in.”

  6. Notion A belief “George was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn’t be handicapped.”

  7. Envious Feeling jealous “I’d think it would be real interesting hearing all the different sounds,” said Hazel a little envious.

  8. Wince Startled movement “Hazel saw him wince.”

  9. Resemblance Likeness “Hazel, as a matter of fact, bore a strong resemblance to the Handicapper General, a woman named Diana Moon Glampers.”

  10. Glimmeringly Dimly He began to think glimmeringly about his abnormal son who was now in jail, about Harrison, but a twenty-one-gun salute in his head stopped that.

  11. Abnormal Not usual He began to think glimmeringly about his abnormal son who was now in jail, about Harrison, but a twenty-one-gun salute in his head stopped that.

  12. Bargain Negotiation “I don’t call that a bargain.”

  13. Luminous Full of light “Her voice was a warm, luminous, timeless melody.”

  14. Calibrated To adjust “The picture showed the full length of Harrison against a background calibratedin feet and inches.”

  15. Hindrances A thing that provides delay “He had outgrown hindrances faster than the H-G men could think them up.”

  16. Symmetry Equal halves “Ordinarily, there was a certain symmetry, a military neatness to the handicaps issued to strong people, but Harrison looked like a walking junkyard.”

  17. Consternation Feelings of dismay “Screams and barking cries of consternation came from the television set.”

  18. Synchronizing Happening at the same time “Harrison and his Empress merely listened to the music for a while-listened gravely, as though synchronizing their heartbeats with it.

  19. Gamboled Jump about playfully “They twirled, whirled, swiveled, flounced, capered, gamboled, and spun.”
