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!

Does the text contain a vague pronoun reference? The airline lost Eve's baggage when she flew to Montreal with her sister last m
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A pronoun is when you define a person with a word by using their gender, like "he, her, him, she," etc. A vague pronoun reference is still a pronoun because it defines someone but does not specifically give their gender. \

For example: "It was very tired."

Now, look back at the text. The pronouns the author used was "she, her." These definitely let us know that Eve is female and so is not a vague pronoun reference.

hi I need ideas on what to write for a topic that goes like- Write a story in which a train ticket plays an important part
il63 [147K]

Answer:

You could do something like, there was a kid who was sent to ride the train and go to their relative to give them something. On the way there the character decides to help someone who fell so the character sets down their things including the ticket to help the person back up. Unfortunately a thief came by and stole the ticket. The character grabs their belongings and runs after the thief but as they were doing that the train was leaving. The character was to be back by 5 pm and that wouldn't be possible if they took another train, and they don't have the money to purchase another one. Nor does the character have a way back home. So they wander around and see a lady who is on the phone and she angrily throws the phone at the ground. She also throws her ticket. The character asks if she is alright and hands the lady her phone and ticket. The lady would be like "Yes, I'm fine" things like that and gives the character her ticket.

That's just one idea but hopefully it helps, and have a great day!
