Denotative is the dictionary meaning, while connotative refers to the connotation of the word. For example, crunchy has a positive connotation, and, say, brittle, has a negative connotation. Do you have specific words/phrases?
<span>Parents often make the mistake that all their children have close personalities, but in truth, it is not so. For example one child may excel in sports while another boy in the family loves to read or draw and the same goes for the girls. There is always a leader of the pack (more than two children) and there will always be some discord, but if they are taught to communicate with each other and with their parents as far as what is right or wrong they will settle in and as they get older they will mature and most get along just fine even if they have their own individual personalities. Some families have a 'Panel' or 'Family Meeting' when there is too much discord and all sit down and discuss the problem and come to some agreement in a calm way. There should also be house rules and all the children should have chores to do around the house.

The 1st scene happens in the middle of the night, on the dark and windy castle wall. The guards are freezing with cold and trembling with fear, as there's a Ghost who appears and wants to say something.
On the other hand, the 2nd scene happens at court, where all the courtiers are present, along with the queen and the new king Claudius. Although the former king has recently passed out (or murdered, as the reader will find out later), everybody is serene and optimistic. Only the melancholic prince Hamlet is missing.
The two settings are juxtaposed with a context that binds them together (adding to the contrast, at the same time): everybody is well aware of the strange and sudden circumstances of the old king's death. The 1st scene is spooky because of his Ghost who seeks young Hamlet. The 2nd scene leaves a bitter taste because his funeral has been followed by a wedding all too soon.

<h3>Safety of Numbers</h3>
The devastating Tiananmen Square experience haunts Lucy Tan's mother. As one of the students who protested in Tiananmen Square, she realized that society does not care for the vulnerable and can force one to renounce their youth naivety. Could anyone expect the authorities to order the opening of fire on protesting students with no weapon other than their voices?
Thus, the fact that the narrator's mother was locked inside the house for a long duration shattered her confidence in society and reduced her self-expression.
