Bag of Bones (Pages 1-106)

I recently started Bag of Bones by Stephen King. In the beginning, Mike Noonan's, a best-selling author, wife dies of a brain tumor nobody knew she had out on the streets. Mike is in a stage of grief and moves away, needing time to digest her death. He is unable to write and has vivid nightmares every night. So the entire 106 pages are basically talking about him deciding to go to his summer house, far away from his regular house.

I learned the term contemptuously. Contemptuously means without respect; in a disdainful manner. Basically, people talk to you like this when their angry, or make contemptuous gestures, or something along those lines. They're just being rude. I hate contemptuous people. Don't you?
