As I was reading “The Turbid Ebb and Flow of Misery” by Margaret Sanger on the train to school, I came across the word “Sentiment” on the third sentence of the first paragraph in which I was not familiar with. It belongs in the line “Sentiment was especially vehement in the matter of having babies.”. At first, I thought the word ‘Sentiment’ and ‘Sentimental Value’ is the same thing, but it is actually very different. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the definition of the word “Sentiment” means a view of or attitude toward a situation or event. Basically it could be more or less of a opinion or a feeling. Now that I know what the context of where the word “Sentiment” belongs in means, as quoted earlier the context would mean that ‘the feeling of importance of having babies’ in the simplest way I could interpret it.
