RSB [31]4 years ago

Answer:

denotative meanings of a word are the simplest definition of it,

while connotative meanings are more detailed and described with the feelings and emotions linked with that certain word. The meaning has a more personal and cultural point to it rather than just the basic meaning.

connotative words allow the readers/listeners to feel and picture what the speaker is trying to convey.

for example:

"Clique,"  means a group of people (denotative meaning), but it carries a negative connotation. This is because "clique" is typically used in circumstances where the group is known for excluding other people.(connotative meaning)

Likewise, "club" also refers to a group of people (denotative meaning), but this word has a more positive connotation because a club is a collection of people that voluntarily come together for a shared passion or purpose.(connotative meaning)

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

yes I do believe that Whitman's use of free verse in "Song of Myself," helped him to better connect with his readers. Whitman's use of free verse enables him to talk to his readers in a new way that is not constricted by rhyme or meter parameters. Also, his use of language sounds more like spoken language and helps readers to not only understand what he is saying, but also to better connect with the complex and emotional themes that Whitman was discussing in "Song of Myself." More than one hundred fifty years later, the themes he uses in "Song of Myself," as well as his exciting use of language still speaks to a new audience in a new generation, which shows how well thought out and carefully pieced together his poetry was, and I believe that the use of free verse aided significantly in Whitman's ability to make the poem into exactly what he wanted it to be.
