Connotative definition for snake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone know:?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I can help, but first: Do you know what connotative means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Connotative: signifying or suggestive of an associative or secondary meaning in addition to the primary meaning

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Right, or to put it in simpler words, it's the meaning that people attach to it rather than its literal meaning. Now, the literal definition of a snake is that slithery reptile. But, the connotative definition of a snake has more emotional ties to it. What do you think of connotatively when you think of someone who is a snake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A sly secretive person

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one who is untrustworthy or presents an unseen danger

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Right, so that would be some examples of the connotative definition for snake.

Oh thank u

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

A possible definition could be this: Snake: A person who is sly, secretive, and/or untrustworthy.

You could also add liar into that as well.
