What are the 15 most confusing words in the book?

 What a
wonderful book!  It depends if you are thinking from Enzo, the dog's perspective, or the
reader's. Let's go with the reader's perspective. 

 Some of the most
difficult words are ones that have multiple meanings, and depend on how they are used in the
sentence to understand the meaning. Many times you can use the context of the story to help you
understand what unknown words mean  

1. Emoting p.4 - showing
emotions

2. Ascend p.8 - rising up, without being tied to Enzo


3. skated p. 27 - walked with caution 

3. Deity p. 68 -God or
goddess

4. Berm p. 99 - piece of grass near a road

5.
Arrangement p.128 - way of life, set up of the houses

6. Apex p.150 - highest
point

7. Angst p. 160- fear, nervousness 

8. Resolve p.
173 - determination

9. maudlin p.205 - weak, feeling bad for
himself

10. Gait p. 216 - walk

11. Alpha manp.216 - boss,
person in charge

12. Speculation p. 245 - guessing

13.
Controversy p 256 - fights, debate, disagreements

14. Opposable p. 312 - able
to move toward the fingers, like people

15. ART, in the title, - in this case
it doesn't mean pictures or paintings but rather the way that Denny and Enzo move through their
lives

Hope this is helpful!
