Perry’s vocabulary words form a recurring motif throughout the novel. Discuss these words in terms of the chapters in which they appear and the story as a whole. What symbolic or metaphoric insight do they offer?

I don't have the book to remember how the definitions work into the different chapters. I did love the definitions scattered through the story though. They show extreme insight into what we really mean hidden underneath the words we choose to use. Is that all those higher IQ numbers measure, how well we can mask our true intentions?
