Answer:

An author might choose to use words with a neutral connotation instead of words with a positive or negative connotation for the following reason:

The author does not want to sound biased.

Explanation:

There is a clear purpose for an author to choose to use words with a neutral connotation: he or she does not want anyone to think they are taking sides. They want to be impartial, that is, unprejudiced and with no display of bias. The story, article or whatever kind of writing the author engages on is then presented in a neutral manner, which allows readers to form their own opinions in a much more natural and spontaneous way, rather than being, even subtly, influenced by the author's personal points of view, which become more apparent when words with a positive or a negative connotation are used instead of words with neutral connotation.

An opinion most suitable to answer the question:

It might or may be early in the story and the author may not want the reader to form an opinion yet or perhaps the author is describing a minor detail and does not want to draw extra attention to it that could detract from something more important happening in the story.

What are social costs of cell phone usage?
sergey [27]

Answer:

The social costs of cellphone usage can be defined as a depreciation of social interactions.

Explanation:

Cellphones were invented in 1973 by Martin Cooper and they were designed with the purpose of offering a mobile way to communicate with others erasing the limitations that phones offered at that time.

However, today we are facing an era in which cellphones have gone way beyond the point of being just a portable device for phone calls. Social networks, cellphone gaming, chats, photographs, and all kind of apps with different services are just a glimpse of what cellphones offer now, making society somehow dependent on the device itself. Which unfortunately has led to less use of face to face communication, building some sort of barriers  in which emotions and true meaning are easily disguised because is safer to simply express ourselves behind a cellphone, that is why society face bigger issues related to bullying and cyber bullying. People no longer truly know each other, simply replacing emotions  with emojis and ideas with memes leading us to no longer understanding each other and what is worse, not caring about it.

House on mango street book. Write a description of a scene using language that engages the senses.set the mood in your introduct
alukav5142 [94]
First, pick a feeling. This could be as vague and easy as anger~sadness~excitement~fear, or as nuanced as contentment... etc. 
Then go through your senses and find words and concepts that remind you of that feeling. ie, Anger:
-FEEL the beating heart and heat in face and blood, the sweaty palms
-HEAR a ringing in your ears, or a shout you make
-SEE your vision become tunnely and closed off, or your face go read
-TASTE metallic in your mouth, or blood, or a food that reminds you of a time you were angry

etcetera. 
Now, think of words that'll describe those senses. A beating heart is POUNDING and DEAFENING... 

The feeling is your MOOD, establish this first ("I was angry"). Then use the descriptive WORDS to describe the SENSES.

It is irony. Normally, when someone is unusually prompt, they are early. However, the speaker is using irony to say that her doctor is always late.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Here are the possible characters introduced: Argus Filch (caretaker), Mrs.Norris (Filch's cat), Professor Sprout (Herbology), Professor Binns (History of Magic), Professor Flitwick (Charms), Professor McGonagall (Transfiguration),    Professor Snape (Potions), Professor Quirrell (Defense against Dark Arts)

Explanation:

These are the few possibilites you can choose from. The most detailed and explained would be and Severus Snape and Professor Quirrell. But the question is up to you. I would say that Snape interests me because why is he cold to Harry and Quirrell because why he has a turban and he always changes the subject when ever someone asks him about his turban.
