In \u201cAnne,\u201d begin with The Author to Her Book, which evidently was written as the epigraph to the second edition of her collection of poems. What of her personality as a woman comes through in the poem?<\/p>\n

In \u201cThe Author to Her Book\u201d It is immediate that the reader knows that a woman and a mother wrote this piece. \u201cThou ill-formed offspring of my feeble brain, Who after birth did\u2019st by my side remain\u2026\u201d This sentence sets the stage for everything that would come next about her from staying by her side while children, to going out into the world with friends, and becoming adults and moving out of the house.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Threw the middle of the poem, lines 5-10, you can tell that she is unhappy with her children for what is unclear but \u201cbrat\u201d and \u201ccast thee by as one unfit for light\u201d can\u2019t be a good sign. The last two lines though you can tell she will always love her children but she has to let them go.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

For a mother in that time period, especially a mother of 8, you can really get the sense of how much of an up and down ride I was to raise so many children and all the responsibility\u2019s that when along with it.<\/p>\n

\u2022In \u201cMistress Bradstreet\u201d, what poems show her in her social life as the wife of a high official?<\/p>\n

From reading \u201cUpon the Burning of Our House\u201d I can gather that she was a wife of a high official or that she had had any money is to be new to Virginia she and her husband had many thing you wouldn\u2019t think would be in a typical pilgrims home. Things that were burn such as a trunk, table and her stores even though she doesn\u2019t really describe her stores, these alone would tell you that she was better off than most even before the mention of \u201cpelf\u201d which meant money or wealth.<\/p>\n
