Denotation and Connotation Practice
Read the scene
At the airport, Aaliyah and Owen hurried toward Gate 18. The terminal was crowded, but a calm announcement guided passengers to their flights. Aaliyah called the old suitcase “vintage,” admiring its sturdy leather and brass clasps. Owen called it “battered,” noticing its scratches and dented corner. When their flight was delayed, Owen grumbled that the wait was “endless.” Aaliyah described the same extra hour as “a chance to explore the airport’s fascinating art display.”
