Using our knowledge of Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes can allow us to discover the meaning of unknown words when reading a text. In this case, if the prefix "in" means "not" and the word "sensus" means "to feel or perceive," then the word "insensibility" most likely means "unable to feel," and probably refers to someone who does not feel things very deeply.

In Wright's "The Man Who Was Almost a Man," a seventeen year old, wants to buy a gun to get the respect he feels he deserves and to show that he is no longer a child.

However, when he has to ask money to buy the gun, he decides to ask his mother instead of his father because he knows his father will immediately say no.

This reflects that Dave and his father do not have a close relationship since Dave doesn't feel that his father would listen to him and consider his request.
