Why would the connotative meaning of a word be different from person to person?

a. everyone brings different experiences to the meaning of words.
b. dictionaries list different meanings for words.
c. different versions of the word have different meanings.
d. people do not always know what a word means.

to and without are prepositions, so a, b, and d are prepositional phrases. the adverb phrase is c, about the surprise.

explanation:

this question is not school related. refrain from asking non school or academic related questions in the future.

b. the poet identifies with private people.

    in the stanza, dickinson states she doesn't wish to seek fame and recognition from the public eye. nor is she afraid of authority figures, and you can definitely tell she isn't hiding something. more as she identifies with private people, who are not known by the community
