Identify the word in the excerpt that has a connotative meaning and explain, in at least 150 words, the significance of the word, and whether the meaning holds a positive or a negative emotion. excerpt: i darkened her eyes with kohl and the years fell away more; she was so pitifully young i could hardly believe she was to be married today.

The connotative word for me is PITIFULLY or pitifully young. This means very young and it refers to the woman in the text.

It would seem that the words used invoked negative emotions because the narrator is saying that the girl is very young to be married. It would seem as though the narrator is questioning the rightness of the bride's decision of getting married at a very young age.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
