I don't know the story..

Metaphors are similes without "like" or "as". Say "IT WAS RAINING CATS AND DOGS" is a metaphor.

It wouldn't ACTUALLY rain cats and dogs. This is why that is a metaphor.

I just completed this one-- This is how I take it, and I hope you can build something off of it:

As metaphors are similes without like or as, the entire poem is a metaphor in the sense that it's representing the end of the Civil War, but describing it as a ship and it's captain.

He shows the ship returning to port, how people are excited and cheering for the victory and the end of the war, but how the narrator is mourning the loss of his captain.

This easily represents Lincoln's death, which is an important aspect of the war and poem.

Answer:

2) Courage.

Explanation:

A connotation can be defined as the quality, feeling or an idea which a word brings to the mind of a person, as well as its literal, dictionary or primary meaning.

Courage refers to the quality that is being possessed by a confident or brave individual which makes him or her not to be intimidated, frightened easily while being cautious in his or her actions.

Hence, the word "courage" provides an appropriate connotation of the word heart as it is used in this sentence: The guard dog defended his owner with the heart of a warrior.

This ultimately implies that, the dog defended his owner courageously like a warrior.
