The correct answer of the given question above would be option 1. The best definition of a connotation would be the shades of meaning behind the dictionary definition. In contrast to denotation, which is the dictionary meaning, the connotation is the secondary meaning of the word which is generally evoked from emotions or feelings from that word.

Damm [24]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Lourdes hadn’t bothered to study for the essay exam, joking that her motto was "fake it ‘til you make it." Now, as she stared in horror at the test booklet, the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers. What kind of figurative language is used?

a. personification

b. simile

c. metaphor

d. hyperbole

Answer:

The kind of figurative language being used is:

a. personification

Explanation:

<u>Personification is a common figure of speech in literary works. Personification happens when an author gives living qualities to non-living things.</u> For instance, if the speaker of a poem says that the wind and the leaves are dancing during fall, he is using personification. Wind and leaves are not humans; they do not dance. However, by saying so, the speaker makes the movements of the leaves being carried by the wind more artistic, more vivid even.

<u>The same happens when the author of the passage we are analyzing says, "the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers." Blank pages are not beings, much less conscious beings. They cannot know anything or laugh at all. But, by phrasing it this way, the author makes it seem that Lourdes is being mocked, that her fate is quite an ironic one.</u>

Answer:

The Color Purple

Alice Walker

Southern US early 1900's, yes, she goes from a young woman living with her abusive father and her kind sister to living with her friends in africa after her long and hard life

Celie is a poor undereducated 14 year old living in the american south, her father rapes and beats her, her mother died cursing her on her death bed, Nettie is her sweet younger sister by 2 years, Celie is married off to a man named mister who treats her very poorly. celie has 2 children which were taken away from her.

Man vs Self : celie asks herself why do all these things happen to her Man vs Man: celie vs the men in her life Man vs society: Celie fight societal norms wanting to defend herself from the people that hurt her even though thry are at a higher standing

first person POV, the words used in the novel were I, Me, She, We when refering to the speaker

This novel could only take place during the 1900's as in any other time period celie would have either less or more rights than this point in time.

As this is not an exact true story but still takes place in the past in an accurate description of a specific historical period that makes it a historical fiction novel.

I love the book, and the movie it really makes you appreciate  your life and the plot was very satisfying all the way to the end
