    Anne Bradstreet Letter To Her Husband Essay

    In the poem “A Letter to Her Husband, Absent Upon Public Employment,” Anne Bradstreet addresses the importance of her husband’s presence in her life and the emotions she experiences when he is gone at work. Clearly demonstrating education unfamiliar to women in the 1600’s as well as passion not commonly found in her time’s literary works, Bradstreet successfully portrays the connection she feels between her and her husband and the consequences of such a connection. Using earthly, physical and scientific comparisons, Bradstreet shows that her husband is the center of her world, but also attends to the fact that it does not mean he has officially replaced…

    The Drifters Poem Analysis

    The poem begins without indicating who these people are or what has happened to them in the past, references to “he” and “her”. Throughout the poem the central character is never given a name. The significance of this is the wife is an anonymous woman due to the lack of a permanent place to live. No one knows her name. She could perhaps represent others.…

    Anne Bradstreet

    During the early 1600's Puritanism ran strong throughout early North America. Anne Bradstreet, the educated and well-to-do daughter of Thomas Dudley, arrived in America during the 1630's. Anne Bradstreet being a firm Puritan believer, abided by the ideas that women were man's subordinate, their help-mates, thus leaving women to be submissive. This led women's ambitions and want for self-fulfillment to be negated by religion. Bradstreet reflected her beliefs through her writing, which, she kept hidden for years until it was stolen and published in England. She hid her words as it was frowned upon during her time for a women to write. Bradstreet, being an intelligent women, covered her words…

    Anne Bradstreet

    Both "In Memory of My Dear Grandchild" by Anne Bradstreet and "Meditaion 8" by Philip Pain express two contrasting point of views in relation to death. Bradstreet's diction and use of literary elements, such as metaphors and alliteration, are skillfully arranged throughout the poem which aid in making the theme of dying seem inevitable. Pain uses two different tones to create a turning point in his thoughts about halfway through his poem which gives the reader a better idea of his stages of feelings towards passing away. Each poet describes the theme of death according to their personal experiences and thoughts and makes whoever reads their work think about life in a different way. Life is precious and can not be wasted.…

    The next element that I enjoyed from this poem is the tone that the author uses. I think there are two different tones that she is portraying, a sad tone and a stern tone. At the beginning when she is talking about the man holding is dead wife in his arms the tone seems sad. Then it changes when she is talking about the love and chivalry he is showing as well. I imagine her talking about the man’s courage in a very stern tone of voice.…

    Anne Bradstreet

    Imagine living in a society where they repressed you from being able to do and feel what others considered normal. Imagine growing up a woman and learning to read and write for the sole purpose of being able to interpret the bible and nothing else. Now imagine being a woman who had to hide her talent in writing because it would be considered a sin in front of her fellow neighbors. As ridiculous as this all sounds, Bradstreet had to do this. Being raised a Puritan, Bradstreet, had a strict belief system and with that came certain rules she had to follow, such as, putting God first, and not having any attachments to her secular belongings. That being said, “Whoever dies with the most toys wins.” would clearly be a phrase that she and other puritans would disagree with. However, while it is a sin to show emotional attachments to your things, Bradstreet does just that, but catches herself, in her poem, Upon the Burning of Our House, July 10, 1966, showing the correlation between this and the quote.…

    “First Breath Last Breath” by Antler Analysis

    An important aspect is the structure of the poem. It is composed of two stanzas, each stanza containing one sentence that is broken up at various intervals. Both stanzas have each ten lines. The intervals that the sentences are broken differ from line to line, the longest line being 8 syllables and the shortest being 3 syllables. This structure gives the author flexibility, writing this poem like he is writing a story. He is breaking up the sentence into various intervals in order to create “musicality” among the last words of each line.…
