Answer:

<em>The singer’s high notes stabbed my ears like jagged knives. This sentence is an example of </em><em>b.) connotation. </em>

Explanation:

Words usually carry cultural and emotional associations -connotation- and literal meaning -denotation. Connotation is a literary device that refers to a meaning implied by the phrase, apart from the idea explicitly described. Connotation may be positive or negative. In this example, the connotation in <em>stabbed my ears like jagged knives</em> is clearly negative

Answer:

b.) Connotation.

Explanation:

Connotation is the association of certain words and phrases used to a word evoking certain feelings aside from the literal meaning of that word. It is the implied meaning of a word in a sentence.

The sentence <em>"The singer's high notes stabbed my ears like jagged knives"</em> is an example of connotation. It implies that the singing or high note of the singer was so loud and high that it is capable of cutting the ears through with a knife. Or more simply, it is like his ears are being cut through by a knife when he heard the high note of the singing, piercing his ears. It does not show the literal meaning of the words but it implies just how painful/ shrilling the voice must have been.

Social perceptions on schizophrenia (how the public views people with schizophrenia) a paragraph on this please 4 or 5 sentences
zaharov [31]

Answer:

People see those with schizophrenia as "insane" or "psychotic" due to the media they consume. Society has accepted this as gospel, but we're slowly starting to erase that viewpoint. Obviously, those who suffer with schizophrenia aren't what people say they are, since it's a disorder with a lot more layers to it than people believe. It's more than just "hearing voices", since more of the symptoms include social isolation, agitation, compulsivity, disorganization, and much more.
