Answer:

The connotative meaning of the "fault lines" in the excerpt is something that is powerful and threatening to others.

Explanation:

Anna Quindlen, a Pulitzer-Prize winning author wrote a commentary on the Sept 11 bombing for the <em>Newsweek</em>. In her article "A Quilt Of A Country", she points out that America is home for many nationals who had come there to get a new start or a better way of life. And with this diversity, there is also unity. So, when there are threats of any kind, these different nationalities all come together, united against the common enemy. There may be "fault lines" that demarcates and separates people to people, but in times of crisis and common fight against evil such as terrorism, people forget their national identities and become Americans first. And this is what makes America great in comparison to any other country.

Semmy [17]
Comedic Relief

Capulet calls for a sword, but Lady Capulet's lines 'offer' him a crutch instead. This is used to show how old and incapable Capulet would be in a street brawl with much younger and stronger fighters. Capulet refers to Montague 'flourishing his blade in spite' of him, which shows that Montague is not taking part in the actual fight either, just waving his sword around. This shows that the head of both houses are not actually effectual within the fight, but encourage its continuation regardless.

Paragraph on your hobby 100-150 words (something that isn't sports please) ​
Genrish500 [490]
I love to paint. It is my hobby. I paint with water colours. I like to paint beautiful landscapes. When we go on holidays to different places like hill stations, desert areas, river banks or the countryside, I always take my art material with me. I like to sit and paint a scenery as I watch it. The painting then is very vivid and comes alive. I find my hobby refreshing to me. I keep all my paintings carefully. I have participated in different art exhibitions and painting competitions at school and at state level events, and won prizes too.
