So as to help others who may be having the same problem,
first allow me to explain what connotation means.
A
connotation is a feeling or idea that a word raises both a figurative and literal
meaning for a person.
In your tag bar, you mentioned the
words "house=home." This would be a connotation given that when some people hear the
word house they automatically think of the word home as well. A house does not only
illustrate a building structure which people live in. It also illustrates the place
where families live and call their home--the place where they
belong.
Therefore, three other examples of connotations
are:
1. Chicken- The literal is the animal, the figurative
is a cowardly person.
2. Shrimp- The literal is the sea
creature, the figurative is a person who is small.
3. Pig-
The literal is the farm animal, the figurative is someone who would eat a lot or does
not bathe.
