When he stated “i chafed against the word at school” it means that he was annoyed by the world and all he wanted to think about was the girl. Later when he states “ I found myself in a big hall girdled at half its height by gallery” he uses girdled to explain that the hall was cut down.

1. In “The Early Catastrophe”, Hart & Risley provided a figure that demonstrates the vocabulary size trajectory of the children in the study, stratified by age group (page 4). It appears that the trajectory of vocabulary size between children of middle/lower SES versus those on welfare remains very similar until about 23 months of age. This made me wonder why it is that the vocabulary size trajectory seems to dramatically increase around this age among children of lower/middle SES families, in…
