When authors write, why do they consider the connotation of words?

2 answers:

8 0

Authors consider connotations because they know everyone doesn't think like them. I hear a piece of music and instantly think "Beethoven" or "Giacchino!", but someone else just hears some nice music that may have come from the newest action movie (but they can't remember). What means one thing in your family/culture may mean something else (good or bad) to someone in another family/culture. If we don't consider connotations, we run the risk of not communicating clearly.

Which is a fused sentence?

skelet666 [1.2K]

The option C is a fused sentence, because its connecting two "parts", "clauses" or "phrases" without being separated from punctuation or other connectives, that should make it a proper sentence. Therefore, we could make various types of changes to turn this fused sentence into a correct sentence:

Addition of a semi-colon (;)

My dad doesn't have a hobby; He is too busy working.

Using a subordinate conjunction

My dad doesn't have a hobby because he is too busy working.

Separating definitely the clauses:

My dad doesn't have a hobby because he is too busy working.

1. What are the flaws of Walton's character? Frankenstein

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Walton’s letters to his sister form a frame around the main narrative, Victor Frankenstein’s tragic story. Walton captains a North Pole–bound ship that gets trapped between sheets of ice. While waiting for the ice to thaw, he and his crew pick up Victor, weak and emaciated from his long chase after the monster. Victor recovers somewhat, tells Walton the story of his life, and then dies. Walton laments the death of a man with whom he felt a strong, meaningful friendship beginning to form.

Walton functions as the conduit through which the reader hears the story of Victor and his monster. However, he also plays a role that parallels Victor’s in many ways. Like Victor, Walton is an explorer, chasing after that “country of eternal light”—unpossessed knowledge. Victor’s influence on him is paradoxical: one moment he exhorts Walton’s almost-mutinous men to stay the path courageously, regardless of danger; the next, he serves as an abject example of the dangers of heedless scientific ambition. In his ultimate decision to terminate his treacherous pursuit, Walton serves as a foil (someone whose traits or actions contrast with, and thereby highlight, those of another character) to Victor, either not obsessive enough to risk almost-certain death or not courageous enough to allow his passion to drive him.
