1. Salvaged (n) To save from destruction.

He watched the young soldier wading through the water, bending down and then standing and then bending down again, as if something might finally be salvaged from the waste. pg. 173

Your Logic, I kn
ow what the word means and the way it was used in context, you can figure it out.

My friend was throwing away her chair, but I salvaged it.


2. Profound (adj) Showing deep thought or insight; intense; deep.

Down inside I had important things to tell her, big profound things, but I couldn't make the words come out. pg. 229

Example, the reading says,"I had important things to tell her."

What came out of her mouth was profound.


3. Formaldehyde     (n) Toxic gas used as a disinfectant and preservative.

A technical mistake: like they'd pumped her too full of formaldehyde or embalming fluid, or whatever they used. pg. 241

Synonym, it says embalming fluid.

The smell of the formaldehyde made me nauseous.
