Answer and Explanation:

The huge difference between denotation and connotation simple.

A denotation is a literal meaning of a statement or word, such as

"The boy was happy" or "They sat in front of a warm fire together."

A connotation in the other hand is a word that would exxagerate a certain feeling, expression, or mood. There can be negative connotations and positive connotations.

Positive Connotation :

"The boy was childful, full of delight."

Negative Connotation :

"The boy was childish, just pure childish."
