was everything to the men and women who scorned the tradition and ceremony of the churches of their time for a simpler life where God reigned supreme. Yet‚ a comparison of three authors; Bradstreet‚ Taylor‚ and Edwards‚ shows both the stark contrast and similarities many Puritans shared in their time. While these three authors were all Puritan and their writings of God‚ their messages varied greatly in their deliverance. From a message of sorrow and rediscovering God to the damnation of humankind and

Anne Sexton’s poem‚ “Her Kind” presents a stark look at the roles that women place themselves in and are forced into by societal pressures. Throughout history‚ women have been expected to take on the role of obedient wife‚ and failure to do so can result in a barrage of retaliations on a woman and her lifestyle. Though Sexton’s troubled past of depression and eventual suicide has cast negative light on the meanings of her works--particularly speculation that her work is a confession-- “Her Kind”

Is Everyone an Author? Authors do not always have to be people who write best-selling books or have published news articles; they don’t even have to write something at all. Painters‚ chefs‚ and musicians can all author compositions. An author‚ as described by the textbook‚ Everyone’s An Author‚ is someone whose piece can be viewed by a large group of people and critiqued by anyone. This critique is a result of rhetoric. Rhetoric‚ “language that is intended to influence people‚” helps the author’s

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

We all struggle with our own immortality‚ many authors use death to declare their thoughts and beliefs on what it feels like‚ and what happens during the process of death.

Richardson and Porter use the stream of consciousness to add depth to their characters‚ and to tell
