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,…

These immigrants pose a threat to the countries in which they are trying to reach. Many in Europe feel that these immigrants, who…

It All Started with a Chicken Yes, my involvement in agriculture all started with one little chicken. Her name was Cluckens, and I got her by chance when the FFA chapter at my junior high school had extra birds going to the fair, and I signed up to exhibit one and participate in showmanship. Even though she only received a red ribbon and I did not win showmanship, my first county fair was just a precursor for what was to come for me in agriculture, and I was hooked. Not only did I have a…

This insinuates that the land looks untouched and natural, until the fences break the facade and show sign of human contamination. Lastly, the speaker…

States alone there are approximately 528 million acres of land for animal production? Some cattle never get to graze, and amazingly enough, some are confined in a warehouse without seeing sun until the day they are ready for slaughter. Just as some hens experience forced molting, dairy cattle experience something similar. They are forced to produce roughly 22,000 pounds of milk a year, which in relation to just four decades ago, is more than double the production. It is treatment such as…
