Vocab Post

"For the last twenty minutes, he'd been directing the traffic into the parking spots and watching in disbelief at the procession excitedly making his way towards the door." ( Sparks 145). In this quote there is a word that isn't familiar to me which is procession. But by looking at the quote I'm guessing it means the way the cars are moving. When I looked up the definition it means a number of people or vehicles moving forward in an orderly fashion, as of part of a ceremony or festival. 

When it says "Scores of cars, parked haphazardly, noses pointing in every direction as if planning a getaway." (Sparks 148). In this quote haphazardly is the word that I've never heard before. But I think it means at an angle. When I look up the definition it actually means randomly: in a random manner. 

The vocabulary varies very much throughout the whole book, those are just some examples. True Believer has a strong sense of vocabulary in it.
