To My Dear And Loving Husband, By Anne Bradstreet

Emily Dickinson is a very popular writer and poet who has many popular works that are read today. Emily Dickinson was very different person, she isolated herself from everyone. Most of her writings were very dark and morbid. Emily Dickinson loved kids and wanted a family but never ended up getting married or having children. As she grew older she became more isolated and started to write more and more about death. None of her works were published until after she died because she didn’t want them to be shared. Although she was very different her works are greatly known and she is was of the best writers in her generation.

a. Maya Angelou was an avid writer, speaker, activist and teacher. As a result of the many hardships that she suffered while growing up as a poor black woman in the south she has used her own experiences as the subject matter of her written work. In doing this she effectively shows how she was able to overcome her personal obstacles. Her autobiography “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1970) tells the story of her life and how she overcame and moved forward triumphantly in spite of her circumstances. She asks her readers to rise above their defeats, to not allow anyone to stop their dreams. In demonstrating how she succeeded she has been a role model for women of all cultures and races. The “Phenomenal Women” poem is a celebration

In the poetry of the three authors, Anne Bradstreet, Michael Wigglesworth and Samuel Danforth, there are numerous expressions of conventional Christian sentiment throughout. One convention that is similar among all of the puritan poets is the quality of righteousness. Their preoccupation with interpreting god word and living by these standard can be seen in the writing of all three poets. Their reasons for living clean, moral life is because they believed that they would not only be judged for what they did in their mortal life, but also in the afterlife. Although they believed that god had predetermined who was going to heaven and who was going to hell, they thought that if you did not follow the word of god, it would lead to ultimate damnation.

Woman have since suffered throughout history and were trying to find a voice for themselves since the dawn of time. Abigail Adams is a phenomenal woman who influenced and spoke for all women’s rights within the time period of the 1700s to the early 1800s because they struggled to have a voice for themselves. The book “Abigail Adams: A Revolutionary American Woman” written by Charles W. Akers depicts how she grew up to be the woman she was known for till this day. She was born Abigail Smith to the parents of William and Elizabeth Smith on November 22, 1744 in Weymouth, Massachusetts. Her parents had taught her three sisters and herself on how to be patient within life and never speak badly of those who are not presently around, they also had

In her poem, “Upon the Burning of Our House (1666),” Anne Bradstreet, the first female writer in the British North American colonies to be published, employs the capitalization of specific words and a shift in point of view in order to inform us of a situation in which her devotion to God was challenged and yet consequentially strengthened. Bradstreet opens her poem with the burning down of her home and the amount of fear it caused her. She then gives thanks to God, since she believes all things are his and he has the right to take what he wants. She says, “That fearful sound of fire and fire / Let no man know is my Desire,” and later, “I blest his Name that gave and took, / That layd my goods now in the dust,” (lines 5-6, 14-15). By capitalizing the word ‘desire’ and ‘name,’ Bradstreet reveals that God was in

I sympathize the least with The Misfit. In the story, "A Good Man is Hard to Find" written by Flannery O'Connor. The Misfit is the antagonist when he shoots the family traveling in the middle of the night. From his actions, he reveals that he is a want to equate the Misfit esociopath, with possible narcissistic personality traits. The Misfit seems like a kind man in the south when approaching them, but then the family sees the guns and get nervous. He states that he feels insecure not having a shirt on in front of the women, but shows no empathy when he orders the other men to take the father and son to the woods to be killed. After they are shot, O'Connor states, "'I was a gospel singer for a while.' The Misfit said. 'I been most everything.

Jonathan Edwards’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and Anne Bradstreet’s “Upon the Burning of Our House” seem at first glance quite similar to one another regarding context, however, after taking a closer look, it becomes apparent that there are some substantial differences. These differences cannot be understood without the knowledge of cultural context concerning the Puritan belief system and their lifestyle.

Each of these authors drew upon their deep rooted faith, to better express their intentions of writing. Bradford and Winthrop wrote persuasively. Anne wrote with admiration and relished in the complexity of God's word. When reading Mary’s works you can feel her anguish and misery but with hope in God's will.

nne Bradstreet and Jonathan Edwards are two different authors that have a lot of difference but has some similarities. They both have different approaches on writing and different views of the world. Every person in this world has different beliefs in God and the way they see the world.

Many of the Puritan works were written in poetry form. Anne Bradstreet’s poem, “The Burning of Our House,” shows religion or faith in the poem. She wrote: “There‘s wealth enough, I need no more, Farewell, my pelf, farewell, my store. The world no longer let me love, My hope and treasure lies above.”

In the eyes of God, early Puritan females that turned to writing discovered a way to stand on level ground with men in a society that commonly only respected men’s contributions. Whether or not a woman’s autobiographical writings obtained the attention, Rowlandson’s narrative did, the significance lay in the fact that, in the spiritual realm, equality between the sexes was attained. Anna Bradstreet launched a path for women who would follow in their literary quests. Through her religious negotiations and conscious awareness of a woman’s dual role in society as both domestic leader and spiritual center, Bradstreet helped create an environment in which worthy women could be recognized and respected for their spiritual writings.

To begin with, building up a Reputation is a complex process. It may take up to several years to build up a good Reputation that is highly acknowledged and widely known. However, what is understood under the word “Reputation” anyways? Reputation is how a person is seen among different groups of people. On the other hand, Reputations can also represent that of an Organization or a Social group for instance. Reputations can be good or bad, which usually depends on particular actions that are taken. Whether it is by a person, an Organization or something else. The word “Reputation” can also be interpreted as the beliefs or opinions that are held about something or someone. In the World of the rich and famous, Reputation is everything. It is

My response is happy to Bradstreet’s story. I am happy that she was strong enough to stand up to men and do what she loves, writing. She didn’t need a man’s approval to write and talk about issues she felt needed to be discussed. Her poems are interesting to read, too. I researched a little more in depth about the true meaning behind some of the stanzas (since I’m not use to the language used). It definitely helped me realize more how sarcastic she was about how men treated women and how she was standing up against it through her

“The God that holds you over the pit of hell… he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire...” Jonathan Edwards addressed in 1741, about 100 years after Anne Bradstreet published “To my Dear and Loving Husband”, making herself the first Puritan women to be writing poetry. Edwards and Bradstreet both wrote for the Puritan community about their religion, making an impact on the world in different ways. Bradstreet and Edwards both had have religious views and used their different styles and personalities to make their impact on the Puritan community.

Edgar Allan Poe was a poet and author whose texts were not distinctly 'American' in choice of subjects and settings, but his economy and also his choice of genre and textuality were, for the simple reason that he depended on the situation and constitution of the American literary and cultural market.
