- racketeer (pg 72): a person who commits crimes such as extortion, loansharking, bribery, and obsruction of justice in furtherance of illegal business activities.(this also means lovers of rackets... I find that interesting and funny.) Being a racketeer can lead to bad reputation.
- dinginess (pg 74): of a dark, dull, or dirty color or aspect; lacking brightness or freshness. You have dinginess if you stay out in the sand too much.
- listlessness (pg 74): having or showing little or no interest in anything; languid; spiritless; indifferent. Some people might feel listlessness happens when you watch a bad TV show.
- ruinous (pg 77): bringing or tending to bring ruin; destructive; disastrous. Walking into a thunder storm is a ruinous behavior.
- frontispiece (pg 80): an illustration that faces or immediately procedes the title page of a book, book section, or magazine. Many children books have frontispiece as an introduction.
