Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” Then I saw their fate come upon them and that was terrible past speech. It cam

e upon them as they walked the streets of their city. I have been in the fights with the Forest People—I have seen men die. But this was not like that. When gods war with gods, they use weapons we do not know. It was fire falling out of the sky and a mist that poisoned. It was the time of the Great Burning and the Destruction. They ran about like ants in the streets of their city—poor gods, poor gods! Then the towers began to fall. A few escaped—yes, a few. The legends tell it. But, even after the city had become a Dead Place, for many years the poison was still in the ground. I saw it happen, I saw the last of them die. It was darkness over the broken city and I wept. Which theme is best established by the conflict in this passage? Advances in technology can lead to devastation. War is an unfortunate but necessary path to growth. Those who come before us determine the future. Coming of age requires risk-taking and bravery.

Is assertive,firmly confident ,and pushy a positive connotation a denotation or a negative connotation
JulijaS [17]

We can actually deduce here that:

  • assertive - a positive connotation.
  • firmly confident - a denotation
  • pushy - a negative connotation.

<h3>What is connotation?</h3>

Connotation is actually known to be a way of indicating the implication of a word. It shows the emotional side of a word. It it is positive or negative.

But denotation is seen as the primary meaning of a word. It is usually in contrast to the ideas that can be suggested in a word. In other words, it refers to the literal meaning of words.

Thus, we see that positive connotation refers to the word that brings about a positive feeling while negative connotation brings about negative feeling or feedback.

You will complete your character study of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth by writing about their development from the beginning of the
Gwar [14]

One of the main motifs of the play is the decay of corruption. The development of both characters mimics the development of a disease. In a sense, Macbeth is a remake of the play Hamlet that has somewhat of a “happy ending” though centered not on Hamlet but on the usurper, Claudius.

The disease motif is quite evident as the play starts with a storm over a Scottish moor. The storm is like a feverish disease that attacks the body of the Scottish land and it foreshadows the decay and putrefaction that Macbeth’s ambition will bring upon Scotland. This is further exemplified by the introduction of the three witches; they are old, ugly, haggard and dirty. Macbeth is introduced as a courageous hero who kills a traitorous Scotsman. In other words, Macbeth is symbolically healthy, in his prime, both physically and morally. The infection occurs when the witches address him as Thane of Cawdor, and it is interesting to note that Banquo is NOT infected by the prophecies, just like some people are more vulnerable to diseases than others (usually because of a genetic predisposition). Macbeth resists contagion for a moment but quickly starts succumbing to it. Then his wife, Lady Macbeth (why is she unnamed?) is infected as well and she definitely has no “antibodies” for she succumbs very quickly to the disease. Due to the fact that she is the one that pushes Macbeth to regicide, she is like a personification of the Biblical Eve. Macbeth still tries to resist, but Lady Macbeth taunts him about his manhood and he finally falls. In act II there is even an interesting comic conversation between Malcolm and a porter about how alcohol provokes sleepiness, red noses and peeing further. In other words he is describing the symptoms of a disease and foreshadowing the effects of Macbeth’s contagion on Scotland. During the banquet, Macbeth sees Banquo’s ghost, though nobody else does, like the feverish hallucinations of a sick man. The sickening corruption will be further personified by Hecate, the returning witches and later by Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking which is an actual disease, as she finally evolves into madness. There is even a doctor at the hall of Dunsinane which further emphasizes the disease motif by his mere presence. Lady Macbeth dies by killing herself and Macbeth dies by the sword of Malcolm. The infected lady Macbeth kills herself to escape her disease and Malcolm uses a symbolic scalpel to extirpate the cancerous Macbeth from Scotland.
