6. (Evidence from the 3rd and 4th stanzas) To gild something is to coat it with gold. Gild means to "cover thinly" with gold as in barely gold. Light shining on something has nothing to with gold leaf or gold plate, but it Makes it shine LIKE gold. The connotation differs from the denotation because it contributes to a warm hopeful tone. The use of imagery is basically the author using very descriptive words to emphasize their work.(Third stanza 9-10) "It shall flood with golden splendor/ All the huts of Coraline..." is imagery because it describes the scene in vivid detail. The phrase "golden splendor" rouses am excited tone.

Theses are my answers. The multi choice ones should be correct as of March 3 2020 unless my answers aren't on your test.
The written response is what i put in on my test, so therefore i am not responsible if you have a very strict teacher that only gives you 2 points cuz she wanted you to "elaborate more". This answer has answered hopefully all parts of the test. If you wanted to, you can expand further on my answer
Where is your answer? We can't check it until we see it.
Imagery is the use of vivid language and sensory details to create a mental picture or evoke emotions in the reader. It appeals to our senses and helps us better understand and visualize the poet's message. For example, in "President Lincoln's Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863," the opening line "I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim, declare, and make known that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free" creates imagery of the historic moment and the weight of the words being spoken. It helps the reader imagine the scene and connects them emotionally to the significance of the declaration.
Connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries, beyond its literal meaning or denotation. It adds layers of meaning and can evoke different feelings and responses in the reader. For example, the word "emancipation" in the poem carries a positive connotation of liberation, freedom, and justice. It elicits feelings of hope and empowerment, as it represents the end of slavery.
Denotation, on the other hand, refers to the literal or dictionary definition of a word. It is the objective and direct meaning of a word, without any emotional undertones. For example, in the poem, "President Lincoln's Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863," the words such as "slaves," "free," and "proclaim" have clear denotations that convey the basic message.
Poets use imagery, connotation, and denotation to contribute to the tone of a poem. In "President Lincoln's Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863," the poet uses vivid imagery to create a somber and profound tone, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the significance of the moment. The connotation of words like "emancipation" adds a tone of triumph and hope, resonating with the readers' emotions and reinforcing the positive message. The denotation of words like "slaves" helps establish the historical context and provides a clear understanding of the subject matter. Together, these elements contribute to the overall tone of the poem, creating an emotional impact on the reader and highlighting the importance of the event in history.
