Answer:

After reading the passage, I see how the author uses connotations and figurative language to make his experience come to life. The author uses a mix of postive and negitive connotations like "fast" as a positive connotation, and "lighting" as a negitive connotation. Though the author is using negitive connotation in the paragraph, the story itself is not meant to be negitive, rather exciting and uses figurtative language as a description. This is expressed through the phrases like, "electric fight" but the author hints at what they mean through the following context clues like, " for us to turn on and off as we please." Which indicated a light swich, and the electric that "fighting" through it. This make it feel like not just a light swich or power, but an electric storm that comes to life!

givi [52]

Answer:

The proverb makes a distinction between those who are accepting and be open to change, making progress and development along with it and those who choose to stay behind and not allow the change to evolve in them.

Explanation:

The given proverb <em>"When the wind of change blows, some build walls while others build windmills"</em> is a Chinese proverb. It revolves around the ability and acceptance of change in one's life course.

Need an argument why they shouldn't be in captivity all in order will give brainlist
Alex

Animals being in captivity is bad for their instincts. In captivity, animals lose their more wild side that's in touch with their original and natural environment. Unless an animal (specifically whales in this case) is injured and cannot be in the wild, they should not be kept in captivity.
