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>”.

What is the relationship between personality and learning style?
Alla [95]

When we speak of personality, for the majority of authors, it is the set of characteristics that make each individual unique. The way of perceiving, processing, coding, storing and retrieving information will be influenced by the  differential characteristics of the individual. In addition they will have great influence the closest social agents around:  family, school and environment. The interaction of all these will help to configure  the personality of the subject, facilitating (in the best of cases) the relationship and  understanding with others.

There are three fundamental factors that favor our security: the physical, the intellectual and the social. And they have a great impact when building a healthy personality.

Then perhaps we can say, that the personality and learning style complement each other. But there is always something that can be done to help, if we find stones along the way.
