The connotative meaning of the word “trunk” in the poem is “a container”. In the poem “<em>Verses Upon the Burning of our House</em>” by Anne Bradstreet (1666), the author expresses the traumatic <u>loss of her home and her possessions</u>. After awakening to the tragic event, she goes outside and watches her house and possessions burning down. Once the fire has been put out, she mourns for the physical items destroyed: the <em>trunk </em>and the <em>chest</em>, everything she “<em>counted best</em>”; her “<em>pleasant things</em>”.

Answer:

STORY WRITING

We have shifted to our new resident in Las Vegas from Los Angeles. We were 3 in our family, Me, mom and dad. Dad is usually have to stay out of the home for his business purpose. Me and my mom lives alone enjoying each other's company. But still, mom used to do her household work like shifting, cleaning, cooking etc so she was mostly busy and I was getting bore as I had nothing to do.

On the very next day, when I was coming from the market a dog came to me and started chasing me. According to his behavior, he he wanted to play with me. Suddenly my neighbor came out and interacted with me. It was my neighbor's dog. They said 'sorry if he tried to irritate or hurt you, he is wild don't mind'. I said 'No, he didn't' and they went inside. From that day I've noticed that they always caged him.

One day, I asked them why they always use to cage him. They replied with an irritating look on dog 'He is wild and unpredictable, one day he almost bited me. Since then he used to be in cage'. I knew some times when we nurse dogs, they don't misbehave intentionally, they just want love and attention. So I decided to change my neighborhood's thinking. I brought a dog he used to play outside and spent most of the time outside. Once he bited me as well, but still I didn't get brutal with him. It surprises everybody. They asked me why I'm still with him. I replied 'when you love someone, you didn't let anybody let down even in the hardest circumstances. Animals wants attention and love from us. For them, their owner is their world'. That changes everybody's opinion.

Next day, I've seen my dog playing with my neighbor's dog. I went outside and seen my neighbors thanking me to make them realize a very good thing in life. I'm happy that the dog is no more in cage.
