Question: Find a full sentence that uses a word in a way that you find important to the passage in general or to the themes and motifs of the work as a whole. Tell me why you believe that the word is important. You should define it (Merriam Webster is a fine, free dictionary available online), and explain its relevance to the specific moment you chose, and the larger contexts of the story. Often, words that feel like you know them but which have secondary or tertiary meanings that may obtain are really productive. Which meanings apply? Do secondary meanings open up a different but still relevant interpretation? (From the given below passage)

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we asing the Lord's song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth.
