In order for you to know a person, you must first know his past, and especially the people, and circumstances, that shaped him/her into what he/she has become: "everything we are and all that we do can be traced back, in one way or another, to early influences..." (Monroe 35). Parents, relatives, very close and special people, and also circumstances, are the most important background information for someone to say they know anyone. In this man´s particular case, it is four main figures who become the framework, of who he is: "In my case, four figures from my childhood helped to make me who I am... my father, my mother, my grandmother, and my grandfather." (Monroe 35), because of the roles that they played in his life, and the way they impacted him: "... each giving me a gift that is unique..." (Monroe 35). And it is only through knowing about them, and how they played that role in his life that anyone can understand who he is (Monroe 35).

The words and phrases from the excerpt that best reflect Chopin's connotative style are: <em>cramped, tottered, and clutching feebly.</em> <u>The correct answer is the third one.</u>
Explanation:
This group of words and phrases reflect the author's style because <u>they have strong connotations.</u> When reading those words and phrases, we can feel what the character is feeling in our own body. It is like we, ourselves, are living what is being described in the story. This means <u>those words have strong connotations because they invoke a feeling for the reader</u>; we don't just read those words and pass them by, we really feel what they describe. Those are strong adjectives and specially selected words and phrases. <u>The author is known for using language to authentically describe the actions described, this is her style.</u>
