Books with author Laura E. RICHARDS

Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.

Amos is a little Haitian boy who grows up in an orphanage in Port-au-Prince. He is used to not having a mommy or daddy, but he does have friends at the orphanage. In particular, one American family often crosses the sea to volunteer at the orphanage. They help paint and fix building problems; they make Amos feel like he has more friends. One day, something very scary happens at the orphanage. The ground begins to shake, and Amos and the other children have to go outside. They spend the night outside, and the ground keeps shaking and shaking. When the shaking finally stops, Amos hears the word "earthquake" and realizes something very bad has happened. After several nights of sleeping outside, the leader of the orphanage takes Amos to get a haircut. He gets clean clothes and then flies in a plane for the first time in his life. When he is finally on solid ground again, he is surprised to see people he knows-American volunteers from the orphanage. Will Amos finally have a family of his own?
