Found in: “ The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath

Passage: Chapter 10 “ I slunk down on the middle of my pine, my nose level
with the rim of the window, and watched the houses of outer Boston glide by .
As the houses grew more familiar I slunk still lower”

Understanding that this word means  a type of movement that means embarrassed .This
is an action of Esther disappointment on herself for not getting into the
writing course she was so excited in attending that summer. She was embarrassed
and shameful because she was not expecting that after the hard time she was
already having.
