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:

I believe that youth sports have become too intense. Many kids today play extracurricular sports starting at a young age, exposing them to athletic injuries. Youth sports include soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and even wrestling.  Those sports are only examples of the sports available to kids today. Sports can cause minor and major injuries, and although it is called "youth" sports, the rules are still the same. Competitiveness can lead to kids accidentally injuring each other. The intenseness of youth sports can also burn out the passion and motivation for the sport, as it is too stressful for some kids. In fact, 7 out of 10 kids who play organized sports quit by age 13, according to the National Alliance for Youth Sports. Youth sports have become too intense as it may be too stressful for children and can cause injuries.
