    Indeed‚ Phillis Wheatley’s poem‚ “To the University of Cambridge‚ in New England‚” can be seen as a radical movement of that particular time period. It was not seen as proper for an African American slave to address herself‚ with such authority‚ towards white high class. Therefore‚ I believe that Wheatley purposely identified the clear distinction between her race and that of the upper class white members of society. I imagine that one of Wheatley’s drives‚ for sharing this poem‚ consisted of a cautious

    the “diabolic die” or in other words‚ evil. Wheatley’s writing wasn’t necessarily intended to be used in a political way‚ she wrote because she wanted to‚ and it was the only way she could make money‚ but it was later used in favor of slavery. If Wheatley was here today she probably wouldn’t want it being used that

    Countless Puritan authors came to an understanding that if something goes against nature we can define that as God’s doing. This idea shall be explained according to Anne Bradstreet’s poems “In Memory of My Dear Grandchild Elizabeth Bradstreet‚ Who Deceased August 1665‚ Being a Year and a Half Old‚” as well as “Verses upon the Burning of our House‚ July 10th‚ 1666.” Bradstreet’s way of mourning implies to whatever God gives He also takes away. The tragedies‚ the death of Bradstreet’s granddaughter

    The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “benighted” as “existing in a state of intellectual‚ moral‚ or social darkness.” The word “darkness” really strikes me in this definition‚ just as the word “benighted” struck me when reading Phillis Wheatley’s “On Being Brought from Africa to America.” This use of “benighted” most certainly refers to her time in Africa‚ which she calls a “Pagan” land. This could refer to actual Paganism being practiced in Africa‚ or a lack of religion entirely. She says that

    Phillis Wheatley was one of the most iconic African- American poet. Her poems are the voice of the people who were treated as slaves. The short poem “On Being Brought from Africa to America” was story of her life‚ and how she used Bible as a weapon to fight for the equality. In the beginning words of “On Being Brought from Africa to America‚” Wheatley used the word “mercy”. I think Wheatley used it because being brought to America‚ the land of Christianity‚ was the chance for her “benighted soul”

    In “The Author to Her Book” Anne Bradstreet presents a false sense of humility in her extended metaphor where she personifies her very own book as her child‚ calling it “ill-form’d offspring of my feeble brain” (3). The author is practically saying her work is trash and that she isn’t good enough. This false sense of humility is common with authors‚ especially during that time when women weren’t considered capable of coming up with a good piece of writing. Bradstreet is not only self-deprecating
