In a paragraph of four to six sentences, identify three words or phrases with positive connotations and explain how these words influence the paragraph. Be sure to specifically answer the following questions in your response: What images or ideas are associated with each word?

The Old Socialist was getting a bit nosy

He was a mature man, very social and begifted with a natural curiosity for everything alive.  

Explanation:

A connotation is a commonly understood word that in addition to the its literal meaning, carries an underlying emotional or cultural association. If we take for example the words old and mature we associate the latter in a positive way, because we imagine someone experienced in life instead of just being old. Social has a positive connotation too, but socialist doesn´t;  the former is more human and the latter is political. Another example is nosy and curious: The latter can mean eager to know and learn; the former is somebody who is too curious - specially concerning personal details.
