If I changed the word vulnerable to accessible, it would have more of a positive connotation. I think this because, when I think of a desert tortoise that is accessible instead of being vulnerable, I feel that the animal can still defend himself but be accessible at the same time. This is why I think that being accessible is a more positive connotation compared to the word vulnerable.

I changed the word deter to prevent. The denotation for this word is to keep from occurring. This changes this sentence with a more negative connotation. This is so because some people do not know what deter means and since prevent is more well-known word, and the word has a negative connotation, the word prevent has more of a negative connotation than deter.

slay means to kill violently. If I was to change it to 'murder', it wouldn't have been the same, even though murder means to kill violently too. This is because the word slay has a bit more of a negative connotation than murder. When the author uses the word slay, a bigger word and meaning is being generated in my mind than when the author uses murder.
