As you recall, malcontent was a vocab word in the last exercise of Unit 10 (one of the words you had to define yourself, using your knowledge of the roots.) The same day we went over those words and discussed them briefly in class, I was driving home listening to NPR’s All Things Considered when I heard a report on now-Detroit Tiger Gary Sheffield. The story focuses some on his new book, but much of the story will give you a better idea of what a malcontent is. Read or listen to the story, and you’ll be shocked and amazed that all those vocab words that you are supposed to learn really are used in the real world. (That was sarcasm.)
