Are you talking about Marigolds by Eugenia Collier?
The answer is “callous,” “bloody”
He murdered Lenore. He finds comfort in the bird. He is a highly educated man.
So the question is asking how the person thats telling the story use the story to explain facts about the natural world or specific Cherokee traditions. its sort like using the creation of the story as an example
I just answered a question exactly like this one but I will answer it anyways.
I believe the answer is: C) Hiawatha...was probably based on a real person, a peaceful hero who helped to unite the Iroquois people hundreds of years ago.
This is because a connotation is an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning. Seeing from the above information, Hiawatha seems to be about a positive event.
