II.
so·cial
/ˈsōSHəl/
1. Leave the house. Do not forget the champagne.
2. Do not leave the house. You have not read the news today. You will not know what
conversation to make.
3. Leave the house. Bring your prized stuffed-mushrooms as a conversation piece. (Yes,
your great-grandmother wrote the recipe. Yes, during WWII. She tucked it between
food stamps. Yes, it is delicious. Swallow the strange feeling that you should, perhaps,
have read the news after all.)
jus·tice
ˈjəstəs/
1. The man who murdered his children in cold-blood after Sunday church certainly
deserves the death sentence.
2. His wife, who had no knowledge of his pre-meditated crime, should not be charged
as his accomplice.
3. Certainly, capital punishment is a nuanced issue. As is racial profiling, the glass
ceiling, and tax loopholes. It is most definitely not a subject for the dinner table.
Please use the word in a sentence.
