Answer:

Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word evokes. If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant. To call someone “verbose” when you want to say they're a “great conversationalist” may not convey that.

Which details from chapter 6 of Animal Farm support the inference that Napoleon’s actions are motivated by a desire for power an
kap26 [50]

  I believe that three details that support the inference that Napoleon´s actions are motivated bya desire for power and success could be:

  • Napoleon makes the windmill more important than everything:

          At the beginning of the chapter it is said that after the expulsion of     Snowball Napoleon decides to build the windmill, this cause surprise among     the animals becuse at first he was against the idea suggested by Snowball, but     Squealer convince them that it was a tactic to get rid off Snowball and his nocive influence. From that time on, the construction of the windmill was more important that anything, it was planned to be ready in two years acordding to the pigs blueprints.

          Napoleon told the animals that it was going to be a job that requires hard work and it might be necessary to reduce the rations of food in order to get it done. Because they were going to be more focus on the construction than on the crops.

  • Napoleon makes changes to trade rules by announcing a new policy:

           This way he was the only one to deal with the outside world in spite of going against the rules that they have written when they eject the humans from the farm. The rest of the animals wasn´t sure if they imagined the rules by the intermediation of Squealer who´s job was to maintain the animals  paceful and concentrated only in the construction of the windmill. Then the pigs began to break other rules like going to live in the human house, using their beds and waking up one hour later than the rest of the animals. By doing this Napoleon shows that he and the rest of the pigs consider they are more important than the rest of them and break the equity that ruled in the farm since the humans have left.

  •   Napoleon wrongly accuses Snowball of destroying the windmill

           This action shows that he not take responsabilty of his acts and find in Snowball an adversary that could take him the power he held. By accusing Snowball of destroying the windmill turns him into an enemy, not only for him, if not an enemy to the rest of the farm.

What is Sam McGee most afraid of? What does he ask his friend Cap to do because of this fear? Cite specific details and figurati
Oliga [24]

Sam expresses to the speaker ("Cap") his dread of being interred in a cold cemetery and demands that Cap commit to having his body cremated once he passes away.

In this poem, Service tells the tale of Tennessee native Sam McGee, who perished in the frigid north pole. This is a tale about one's lust and how it can ruin one's life. The title character became so obsessed with riches that he lost sight of the world around him.

He eventually passed away while looking for gold. The poem's narrator discusses Sam's life story and his dying wish to be cremated. He loathed being buried beneath the bitter polar ice. He requested that the speaker cremate him because of this. As a result, the entire poem is written in iambic octameter. There are a few differences in this poem, though.
