Chapter 7-8 Vocab Animal Farm

Emboldened -to give someone the courage or confidence to do something or behave in a certain way.(I chose the picture because George Washington was able to embolden his people to lead them to victory over Britain during the  American Revolution)










capitulated -unwelcome demand surrender.(I chose a pirate ship since pirates force sailors to surrender under certain demands such as giving the pirates the ship entirely)










countenance -a persons face or facial expression.(This picture shows how much President Bush cared for America)









lurking -to remain hidden as to waiting in ambush for someone or something.(In this picture mountain lion lurks for his prey)








tumult -a loud,confused noise.(an example of a tumult of pro-Qaddafi supporters in Libya)










retinue-a group of advisors assistants.(This is a perfect example of a retinue,since the bee's are there to aid anything the queen desires)








conciliatory -to try to win over to your side.(The election is an example of a conciliatory event. In which candidates try to win over peoples votes.)











impending-about to happen of (something bad)(During  the time of the photo the plane hitting the tower was impending)
