Petrarch's Sonnet 18 is about Laura, her beauty and his incapability to describe her beauty in a proper way. His love for her is an impossible one, and he uses repeatedly negative words and phrases to state clearly that her beauty is impossible for him to describe, <em>"unsung...in my rhyme".  </em>He hasn't got any possibilities to make a proper description of her beauty, nor to describe her brightness. So he uses negative word and phrases to strenghten  the idea of his inability to make a suitable portrayal of her, because her beauty is such that it exceeds his chance to describe it. He hasn't got the <em>strength </em>nor the <em>genius</em>.

likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

i believe that the adults are to blame. not the youth,while youth have their moments. the adults are considerably the ones who slack off. the youth of this century are fighting for rights, helping to end violence, and work hard to support themselves and their families... with all the pressure of social media, bullying, and hatred piling on top of them, it feels ridiculous to even focus on education. i mean we are the ones taking the role of the adults.

Determine whether the definition below is connotative or denotative.
motikmotik
The answer is connotative, so choice A.

The reason why is because the denotative definition is "a place where you live, reside" which is the literal definition of "home". This is the definition you'd find in the dictionary. Whereas the definition of "warmth, comfort and affection" is an emotional connection often placed on the word "home".
