Queer

The word queer is an adjective and according to Meriam-Webster’s thesaurus it means affected with nausea. I first encountered this word in “ A Jury Of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell and the text says, “He didn’t begin at once, and she noticed that he looked queer–as if standing in that kitchen and having to tell what he had seen there yesterday morning made him almost sick.” This shows that Mr. Hale was still feeling queasy and nauseous after discovering the body of Mr. Wright and being in the room again didn’t help that feeling go away. I think this word will be hard for me to use in my writing since there’s so many definitions but with the write sentence structure and concept I should use it well.
