Vocabulary for Beyonders, book one, by Brandon Mull

1)  Unbalanced-  I think this word means to not be totally even.  Like when a chair has one leg that's longer than the others.  The real definition is "not keeping or showing an even balance; not evenly distributed".

2)  Through-  I think this word means to continue to go into something until you come out the other side (this can be emotionally, physically, intellectually, etc.).  Some definitions I found state that it means, "past; beyond, from one to the other of, moving in one side and out the other side".  Since this word is used slightly differently than the definitions it doesn't match up as well with the definition.  In the book it says that Jason is pushing through his emotions.  Its the same thing as physically getting through something, its just emotional.

3)  Half-  I think half means that something is bisected in the middle.  The definition I found read, "either of two or corresponding parts into which something is or can be divided".

4)  Violent-  I think this word means to that someone (or something is used in descriptive writing) treats you or an object roughly.  The definition claims that this word means "using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

5)  Pounding-  I think this word means to continue to hit something for a while.  The definition I uncovered testified that this means the "repeated and heavy striking or hitting of someone or something".

6)  Processes-  I think this word means a cycle that someone or something goes through.  The definition I found describes that it means "a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end".

7)  Noticed-  I think this definition means that someone picks out (not literally grab, just in your mind) something that they see in something.  Maybe something they hadn't seen before.  They definition recited that this word means to "become aware of".

8)  Debris-  I think this word means dirt or the the remains of something (like a building).  The definition says it means "scattered fragments, typically of something wrecked or destroyed".

9)  Current-  I think this word means a strong pull in the water.  The definition I found lists that it means, " A body of water or air moving in a definite direction, esp. through a surrounding body of water or air in which there is less movement".

10)  Scramble-  I think this word means to clumsily move or to wriggle while moving.  The definition I read declares that this word means "a difficult or hurried clamber up or over something.
