Pleaded

Base on the Merriam-Webster dictionary the word Pleaded (Verb) means to ask for in a serious and emotional way: BEG. While discussing in class about “The Turbid Ebb and flow of misery” on September 6, this word called my attention. We can find this word on page #108, which it states, “I folded her still hands across her breast, remembering how they had pleaded with me, begging so humbly for the knowledge which was her right.” This sentence shows how guilty she felt for not being able to help her and how desperate these women were in those days of not knowing what to do to help themselves.
