Word Entry #3 - "A Good Man is Hard to Find"

1. "The car turned over once and landed right-side up in a gulch off the side of the road" (304).

2. My guess: From looking at the context clues, I think that a gulch is kind off like a divot on the side of the road.

3. Definition: "A deep narrow ravine, especially one marking the course of a stream or torrent" (Dictionary.com).

4. This makes sense because the family was in an accident and their car flipped off the side of the road, and then landed in a huge ditch; I don't recall the author talking about any form of water nearby, just the forest.
