the word “forlornly”

In this week’s reading brave we are by Tahira Naqvi found an interesting word that I haven’t heard in while, the word was “forlornly” were “a small piece of biscuit lies before him on the table and he fusses with it …” was used to describe Kasim’s actions at the table. According to Merriam Webster dictionary the word means sad and lonely because of isolation. I feel like I like this word since it isn’t used that much and it could be use to describe something thats very coum in todays’s society. I feel like I understand the part of the text better now and how it was intended to describe Kasim’s actions. I will for sure try to use that word more often.
