Which words in the excerpt have positive connotations? excerpt from Fierce
by Aly Raisman
Watching TV with my mom was our special time together and I cherished it. Raising four young children didn't leave a lot of time for kicking
back, but whenever she wasn't too busy, we would sit down on the couch and pick out a tape to watch.
Our choice usually involved our favorite sport-you guessed it: gymnastics. Gymnastics wasn't broadcast as often as the endless stream of
football and basketball games, but on the rare occasions gymnastics competitions were televised, we made sure to tape them. I would watch
those tapes over and over until I knew all the routines by heart.
My mom would eventually get tired of yet another screening of a US Championships or an invitational, but I couldn't get enough. When!
wasn't doing homework or at gymnastics practice. I was parked in front of the TV watching one of those tapes.
One day I want to be just like them. I thought enchanted by the figures flying across the screen. I had already decided that I would be a
gymnast when I grew up. Well, either that or a pop star, like Britney Spears, my favorite singer. That sounded good, too.

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
