| In this sentence, the person was sick because he didn't find that he did in his writings. So I wonder what is the meaning of "sick" in this context? Could you tell me please? |

| It may mean ( He was upset and hopeless because of the mistake he did). Don't you agree? |

| I believe it means that this person has that "bad feeling" after finding out he/she made a mistake. |

| The person isn't literally sick. Instead, he is upset that he didn't find his mistake. (Perhaps he was hoping to get a better grade. Maybe it was something else. In any case, he isn't literally sick. He feels sick.) ~R |
