2. Anathema (n.): a person or thing condemned, accused, damned, cursed, or generally loathed.
3. Cajole (adj.): to persuade by flattery or by promises; entice or taunt.
4. Elusive (adj.): are to find or grasp.

Vocabulary Guidelines
You must find pictures for the following words. Glue them into your portfolio. Underneath each image, write the word and an explanation of how the word relates to the picture.
Explanations need to be similar to the example below. A caption that stats "Duh, Mr. Price, just look at the picture!" will receive no credit.
You may use pictures from magazines, newspapers, the internet, etc. Do not use clip art because it is a step above cave paintings. You also cannot hand draw your pictures.
Almost any word can fit a picture. The art is in how you explain the connection. Think.
