"Reed" stop trying to show everyone where to find it. Chances are when they turn here the don't care and they want the answer. They don't want to read and take the time to find out what the answer is so all your doing is wasting your time when you could be doing on other sites such as Brainly the website.

I looked up one for you:

^^ ahem yo

so whats the answer?

First, make sure you know what "imagery", "connotation", and "denotation" mean. If you don't know, consult your text materials or look up "literary devices" in your search engine, and/or use the dictionary:

Then read the poem and look for examples of each.

Imagery displays the sensual language of what is trying to be addressed.

The synonym for sensory language is “imagery”, also can be attributed as the descriptive details of an object. These sensory language is a one technique that writers and artists uses to relate with readers with the use of an image, description, movement or scenario. It utilizes the five sensory organs –eyes, nose, ears, touch and taste. For example, his white snowy skin is so bright.    

Sure! Let's start by defining each of these terms:

1. Imagery: Imagery refers to the use of vivid, sensory details in writing that creates a mental picture for the reader. It appeals to our senses and helps us visualize and experience what is being described. For example, in the poem "President Lincoln’s Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863," the line "the chains of servitude" creates imagery by invoking the image of physical chains, allowing the reader to visualize the oppression and bondage associated with slavery.

2. Connotation: Connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations that certain words carry, beyond their literal or dictionary definitions. It's the subjective meaning attached to a word based on personal experiences and cultural contexts. In the given poem, the word "emancipation" has a positive connotation as it signifies freedom, liberation, and social progress.

3. Denotation: Denotation is the literal or dictionary definition of a word, stripped of any emotional, cultural, or personal meanings. It refers to the straightforward, objective meaning of a word. In the poem, the word "emancipation" denotes the act of setting someone free from bondage or oppression, without any additional emotional or cultural implications.

Now, let's see how poets use these elements to contribute to the tone in a poem, using evidence from "President Lincoln’s Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863." In this poem, the powerful imagery created through the use of vivid, sensory details helps the poet convey a somber and grave tone. For example, lines such as "millions of our fellow creatures" and "wretchedness" evoke a sense of sadness and empathy for those suffering under slavery. These images of human suffering contribute to the serious and weighty tone of the poem, emphasizing the importance of the emancipation proclamation and the urgency for social change.

Furthermore, the connotations associated with certain words also play a significant role in shaping the tone. The word "emancipation," mentioned previously, carries a positive connotation of freedom and liberation. By using this word, the poet highlights the potential for social progress and inspires a hopeful tone amidst the despair depicted in the imagery. The combination of these powerful images, along with carefully selected words and their connotations, helps poets establish and evoke the desired emotional tone in their work.

In summary, poets use imagery to evoke mental pictures and sensory experiences, connotations to evoke emotions and personal associations, and denotations to convey the literal meanings of words. These elements work together to contribute to the overall tone of a poem, shaping the emotional atmosphere and capturing the intended message of the poet.
