How to use "Wail" in context?
I remember the first time I heard a wail. It was the summer after sixth grade, and my sister and I were bugging our parents to let us go to the mall. We were on the phone, and I could hear her crying in the background. I asked her what was wrong, and she said that her best friend was getting married and her family was flying down from Oregon to visit her. My sister is a trooper, but that moment broke her. She started to wail, and I hugged her tight until she stopped. That wail defined my sister and her relationship with her family for years to come.
