Answer:
Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word evokes. If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant. To call someone “verbose” when you want to say they're a “great conversationalist” may not convey that.
Explanation:
Chapter 1: “I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”
Chapter 2: "It's really his wife that's keeping them apart. She's a Catholic and they don't believe in divorce." Daisy was not a Catholic and I was a little shocked at the elaborateness of the lie.'
Chapter 3: “I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.”
Chapter 4: “There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.”
Chapter 5: "He was consumed with wonder at her presence. He had been full of the idea so long, dreamed it right through to the end, waited with his teeth set, so to speak, at an inconceivable pitch of intensity. Now, in the reaction, he was running down like an overwound clock." (92)
I would say that the trait that distinguishes modern drama from traditional drama is A) the plot of modern drama does not always follow a strict structure and might end without a clear resolution.
The plays in the past would always be written according some strict rules, whereas today those rules aren't as important.
Answer: The flag went up and down in the wind.
Explanation:
The poem "Barbara Frietchie" tells the story of an old woman in a Union town during the Civil War named Barbara Frietchie. She defended the Union flag against General Jackson and so he let it be.
The action described in those lines describes a flag that kept going up and down with the word "ever" meant to describe that the movement was consistent.
The following line then gives the reason why it kept going up and down to be the wind. Another way to describe those lines therefore is to say that the flag went up and down in the wind.
