Bedlam : n, a state of extreme confusion and disorder
Source Sentence - "... but the stories that will last forever are those that swirl back and forth across the border between trivia and bedlam, the mad and the mundane." page 85
Context Clue - Example, since I kept reading ahead the word mad came up it gave me a clue that bedlam has to do with the mind.
Original Sentence - When I had a huge headache during my guitar class I was in bedlam, it was super hard to focus on the class and I had to leave early.
Rapture : n, a state of being carried away by overwhelming emotion
Source Sentence - "A haunted look, Rat said- partly terror, partly rapture." page 100
Context Clue - Example, since I have no idea what the word means I kept reading ahead and it seemed to lead that it has to be a state of something.
Original Sentence - When I was going through a tough time the rapture took over my thoughts and I did some dumb things.
Invulnverable : adj, immune to attack; impregnable
Source Sentence - "Dobbins was invulnerable. Never wounded, never a scratch" page 112
Context Clue - Your logic, since I know what the word vulnverable means I figured that adding the in as the prefix means that it's the opposite
Original Sentence - When I was a bully to others I felt Invulnerable, I was made of stone; nothing would be able to hurt me
