1. Strife came to us that fall. At least that's what the paper called it. Strife. Racial strife. (pg. 147)
2. I think this word could mean something like an inconvienient change. The author describes it as a big scary bird that it always lurking around and watching you. This makes me think that it is bad and unwanted and you just want it to go away.
3. Strife- vigorous or bitter conflict, discord, or antagonism. (Dictionary.com)
4. This definition helps me understand the word better. It is not really an inconvienient change, it is more so a big and serious problem. Racial stife means that it affected everyone because race is a part of everyone. That is what the author is saying when she describes the bird, nobody could hide from this problem and it was everywhere you turned.
