Vocabulary 8

Renegade

Renegade - An outlaw; a rebel.

I chose this picture for the word renegade for a simple reason: Jack Sparrow is a true renegade. He rejects the "rules" and does what ever will benefit himself, and will commit many crimes in order to do so.

Tranquility

Tranquility - quality or state of being tranquil; calmness; peacefulness; quiet; serenity.

This is a picture of a hiker at the top of Mount Fuji at sunrise. When I grow up, I hope to climb mountains across the world and watch a sunrise at the top of one. To me, this would be one of the few tranquil moments I could experience. You feel like you ar floating on top of everything else, and it is the most calm part of the day--sunrise.

Stereotype

Stereotype - a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group.

There are many stereotypes people have towards groups of people. The example I chose to use was the American stereotype. Many people from outside the United States believe all Americans are rednecks. This is why I chose this redneck cat picture. It sickens me that people outside of the country associate every citizen with the redneck stereotype. What is worse is that there are many worse stereotypes people actually have in this day in age towards races, cultures, and religions.
