denotation = dictionary definition
connotation = emotional meaning (like the word <em>mutt</em> vs <em>puppy</em>...same denot, but a different connot.)
In Emily Dickinson’s poem, she uses metaphor, likening the notion of hope to a bird that flies despite “the storm”, the cold of “the chilliest land” and the isolation of “the strangest sea” and because such metaphorical bird “flies” inside one’s “soul”, such hope is personified. In Finding Flight, the process is similar although here the text is not a poem but a story in prose. The device of remembrance of the figure of the late grandfather turns a hummingbird into a symbol of hope for the narrator. There is no metaphor here but actually symbolism. The hummingbird symbolizes both hope and the memory of the beloved grandfather who has “passed”. The bird “gives hope” both to the grandfather and the granddaughter. The plot structure is the same for both works, a reflection on the luminosity of hope, then a period of hardship that tests hope and then the resilience of hope despite all the troubles and darkness of life.
Answer: entangled
Explanation:
Mired has several meanings but in this case it refers to being entangled.
The scenario above tells of a situation where an Act to provide for better healthcare to Veterans, the VA Mission Act, had not been passed due to budgetary issues.
In using the word ''mired'', the author wanted to describe that the Act had not been passed because it had been entangled in budgetary disputes between different parties.
