Hello! :)

Connotative words are words that arouse feelings inside the reader, rather than literal, dictionary definitions.

Home: having a safe shelter—a place to live and grow up or could mean somewhere you feel safe like maybe in your mother’s arms when she holds you.

Dwelling: a safe area for you and might be a mound type of thing and protects from outside harsh environments.

House: a safe shelter; a place to live and reside. A place where you are sure it’ll guard you and keep you safe. Not worrying because it’s the safety of your own home we’re talking about!

Residence: residing or staying somewhere—could be permanently or nomadic-styled. An area where you might grow up but reside in a comfortable area.

Hope I helped and I hope I wasn’t late in answering!

Have a great day and good luck!
