Vocab from Newsweeks

1. Privations
2. "He became a squared-away soldier, demanding of his troops yet sleeping and eating with them, and sharing their privations and dangers." The sentence that the word was in helped me understand what the word ment more, after i looked up the definition. The sentence hinted that the word ment something that was a disadvantage to Wright by including the fact that he went through "dangers" with his troops as well.
3. The poor man that lived in a cardboard box has more privations than the wealthy man that lives a house few blocks away.
4. Lack of the basic necessities or comforts of life.
