Taylor’s poem used descriptive language because he was using an extended metaphor to describe what he wants God to make him. Lastly‚ Edward’s poem used persuasive language because he was trying to persuade his audience to turn back to God and the normal Puritan teachings/ways.

The second poem I revised also had a change to the title‚ but the change was minor. The formerly named “Dilemma at 12:30” is now “Dilemma at Noon”. The title was changed to simplify and clarify the time of day it refers to.

The bedroom poems of the 18th century was a new piece of literature introduced to me. I like how these poems were so detailed and made you cringe from the sights that were being portrayed.
