Vocab.:
1.Intuit

"Personal, Social- Old friends recall or intuit a mix of reasons for the name change."

Context clues/word analysis: This sentence is about the reasons given about why Barak Obama had changed his name from his friends point of view.

Original Sentence: A mother's intuition made her realize that her daughter had been lying.

2. Composites

Context clues/word analysis: the beginning of the word, comp-, made me think that it probably has to do with being made of more than one material.

Original sentence: Many of the characters in Roger's story are composites of people that he knew when he was growing up in his old neighborhood.

3.Kinship

context clues/word analysis: probably has to do with family relations. The word kin means family, and ship I think has to do with a relation of some kind.

Original Sentence: The kinship between Robert and his sister Stacy had been strong up until Robert had been shipped to Iraq to serve in the Marines.
