"Connotation of words implies a happy time". "And people were anxious to get the lottery started."

This describes that people were anxious about the lottery and met in the square at 10 o'clock. it also describes the weather conditions of the day but does give us a context of it.

What personality trait most likely leads to victor's downfall
postnew [5]
I believe that the most fitting answer for this question would be Victor's curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Although this is typically seen as a positive characteristic, it ends up consuming Victor and contributing to his downfall. It leads to him creating his monster, which ultimately destroys him in the end. Hope this helps.

Does anybody have a George Orwell Biography Essay? If not can you help me out and create one? PLZZZ
marin [14]

Answer:

George Orwell, pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, (born June 25, 1903, Motihari, Bengal, India—died January 21, 1950, London, England), English novelist, essayist, and critic famous for his novels Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-four (1949), the latter a profound anti-utopian novel that examines the dangers of totalitarian rule.

Born Eric Arthur Blair, Orwell never entirely abandoned his original name, but his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London, appeared in 1933 as the work of George Orwell (the surname he derived from the beautiful River Orwell in East Anglia). In time his nom de plume became so closely attached to him that few people but relatives knew his real name was Blair. The change in name corresponded to a profound shift in Orwell’s lifestyle, in which he changed from a pillar of the British imperial establishment into a literary and political rebel.
