<p>post away!!!!</p>
<p>well there is a book called tooth and nail which suposedly has an excellent vocab list. It bolds the SAT words and then has a glossary and tells you what they mean.</p>
<p>One Hundred Years of Solitude
Wuthering Heights
LOTR
Harry Potter
Anna Karenin[a]
Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility
Ishmael </p>
<p>All are pretty obvious except Harry Potter. If you know Latin/Spanish/French/romance languages, it isn’t as useful, but if you don’t…
ex–expel
pel–push
arm–weapon
- expelliarmus–disarms
expulso–blows stuff up
expecto patronum–expels a patronus *
fid–secret, confidence
the fidelius charm–keeps people secret
patr–fatherhood
patronus, patronum–takes the form of James Potter’s animangus
mort–death
Voldemort
verit–truth
veritiserum–truth potion</p>
<p>I could do this forever, but I’ll stop now. :P</p>
<p>Oh, and it’s not related to vocab, but I swear I have worked One Hundred Years of Solitude into every single SAT essay.</p>
<p>O.o really? i need to read that book then</p>
<p>Hi Xiata
I’ve read the novels you listed and my vocab has significantly improved after each one. Could you post more similar ones?</p>
<p>I need help with my vocabs as well :S:S memorizing them from flashcards do not seem to help since my short-term memory is really bad…</p>
<p>A Tale of Two Cities
Last of the Mohicans
Scarlet Letter</p>
<p>I found the Last of the Mohicans to be extremely helpful. It probably has a fifth of the SAT words listed in barron’s 3500 basic word list. And once you start reading, it’s really not as boring as the title sounds.</p>
