Answer: a. The associated meaning of a word in addition to its primary meaning.

The connotation of a word is its associated meaning, which is additional to its dictionary definition (denotation). A connotation is usually a commonly understood cultural or emotional association. Most of the time, a connotation is described as being positive or negative. Understanding connotations is very important for the appreciation of literature, as many rhetorical and literary devices rely on the associated meanings of words.

To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The poet of these lines, Edna St. Vincent Millay, imagines a speaker who is sick of spring and everything that goes along with the season changing. Millay employs word choice such as "stickily" in order to make the beauty of new leaves growing on the trees seem grotesque. She also names the leaves as "little" further diminishing the importance of the season changing. The speaker calls out directly to April in the first line ("To what purpose, April, do you return again?"). This line can be read as threatening or condecensing in light of the word choice in the poem as the speaker is angry at April's return. The speaker concluses that "I know what I know," marking themselves as more knowledgable about the world than spring and April.

What lesson give us of the tell tale heart? give me two reason
lord [1]

The Tell-Tale Heart is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1843. IN the story, an unknown narrator tells how he followed and finally killed an old man because he  was afraid of his blue eye. After the murder, the narrator tried to hide the body from the police. The lesson is a moral one: the danger and power of a guilty conscience. When the police comes to his house, he seems to be calm. However, he starts listening to the beating of a heart which makes him start feeling nervous. It gets to a point he cannot bear it anymore, so he confesses the crime to the police. At this point we can say that another moral can be that one should try to confront fears somehow and also be conscious about the actions we take.

The guilty soul of the narrator in the story was like a haunting ghost in his mind who made him first listen to the corpe´s heart and finally confess.
