Answer 1

Answer:

In blind the author Rachel DeWoskin uses negative connotation in paragraph 7 the text states, "I’m not courageous enough.” This shows negative connation because she is struggling to accept her new "normal" and is fearful that she will not succeed at learning life again due to her becoming visually impaired.

In the text the author uses positive connotation in paragraph 21 and 23 the text states, "A dozen eggs,” she said. “Do you want to throw them?...Anywhere you want." This shows positive connotation because she is trying to turn a new leaf and by throwing eggs its helping her cope with her "new" beginnings and relearning her way around life.
