Vocab. Week 11

Fatuous


fatuous - unreal; illusory.

I chose this image from Alice In Wonderland because the main character visits an unreal, illusory pace called Wonderland. This one is pretty self-explanatory, I know.

Reparation


reparation - the making of amends for wrong done


I chose this image from the TV show, My Name Is Earl, because it is a great example of reparation. Earl looks back on the things he does when he learns about karma, thus causing him to create a list of people he has wronged in the past. He then goes people doing things for them to make up for it.


Apathy



apathy - lack of interest in or concern for things that others find moving or exciting.

You're probably wondering why I posted this picture of the hit serioes 24. Well, I'll tell you. People always tell me its so great. I have never seen it and it's too late for me to start watching it now. Also, I feel absolutely no desire or need to start watching it. Maybe it is a great show, but I won't find out any time soon, because I am APATHETIC towards it.
