What does Bent really mean?

Alright, so "bent" is a pretty cool word. When something is "bent," it means that it's not straight anymore. It's like if you had a piece of spaghetti and you bent it, it wouldn't be in a straight line anymore. It would have a curve in it. So, when something is "bent," it's no longer in its original straight shape.

But "bent" can also mean something else. Sometimes people say that someone is "bent" on doing something, which means they are really determined to do it. It's like if you really want to play a game and nothing can stop you, you're "bent" on playing that game.

So, "bent" can mean two different things. It can mean being curved or not straight, or it can mean being really determined to do something. It's like how a bobby pin might be bent out of shape and not straight, or how someone is bent on getting the last piece of cake. It's a word that can have different meanings depending on how it's used.
