Wonder can do task: Some interesting words so far

Some interesting words so far
In the book Wonder, we have already encountered several words that other people in the class don't know about such as "Contagious". For this can do cast I will talk about some of these words and explain the meaning of them. 

Contagious: In the book, Contagious is used when August talks about how everyone ignores him he states they act like he has a contagious disease. Contagious normally relates to a disease which can spread between life forms if close to each other, touching each other or even letting air they breathed into someone's airways. For example, the black death was contagious as it could spread from one human to another through multiple ways.

Exception: Exception is when something is allowed that would normally not be however sometimes it is used for things a bit different but along the same lines. Here is an example of it "Everyone in the class had to finish their project by the 12 of June. Except for *name* he has been away for a couple of days."

Recital: A recital is like a performance of some sort at a place. An example of this would be "the group *group name* did their first ever recital at the Christchurch library." This would normally be used for a band performing at a place or just a person performing a play or a show somewhere.

Aversion: Aversion is something you really dislike, not to the point were you despise it but to the point where you really really dislike it (basically hate it). An example of this would be "Gregey Gregerson had an aversion to a dog." That would mean this Gregey person would try to avoid dogs if he ever came near one.

Mortality: Mortality is when someone is sent to death like an execution. It can also be used for a massive amount of death around the same time. An example of the second one is "There is a high mortality rate of children when they are born."
