Intellectualization protects against anxiety by repressing the emotions connected with an event. A comparison sometimes made is that between isolation (also known as 'isolation of affect') and intellectualization. The former is a dissociative response that allows one to dispassionately experience an unpleasant thought or event.

The plant consists of stocky leaves whorled around a central stem. In a healthy pineapple plant, the tapered, swordlike leaves can grow up to about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long.The pineapple fruit grows out of the top of the central stem.The fruit is actually the result of dozens of individual fruit-producing flowers that have fused into a single fruit, which is capped with a crown sporting numerous short leaves. Unlike most fruits, pineapples are not grown from seeds.f it's planted into the ground (or a pot), a new fruit-producing plant will grow. Additionally, the plant's suckers (side shoots that grow in between the leaves of the main stem) and slips (tiny plantlets that grow out from the base of the pineapple fruit) can produce new plants when replanted.
Suckers are little plantlets that grow between the leaves of the mature pineapple. Some varieties will produce more suckers than others, some will start earlier and others later. But they all produce at least a few suckers before they die. If you leave the suckers in place you get what is called a ratoon crop. That is the least amount of work for the next crop, just do nothing. But it has a few disadvantages. The plants start to crowd each other out and to compete for food, light and water. As a result the next lot of pineapple fruit is much smaller.
