““Cajole, v. I didn`t understand how someone from a competently landlocked state could be so terrified of sharks. Even in the aquarium, I had to do everything to get you come close to the tank. Then,, in the Natural History Museum, I couldn`t stay quiet any longer. “It`s not alive,” I said. “It can`t hurt you.” But you held back, and I was compelled to push you into the glass. What did it matter to me? Did I think that by making you rational about one thing could make you rational about everything? Maybe. Or maybe I just wanted to save you from your fears.””
