Connotation is what we use when we read to get a better understanding of what the author wants to tell us. It may also be used to help find the definition of a word that you don't not know. With said, in the short period of time that I have learned to use connotation, I can already see a difference in understanding when I read an article, or story. For example, in Malawi windmill boy with big fans, the author uses some words that some people may not understand, like the words, Humble, Cobble, and Resonate. Using the surrounding sentence, we can find clues to what the words mean, in this case, when you cobble something together using different object, you can come to the conclusion that cobble means to create something using many different parts
