Writing Homework Help

For this assignment, you will write a short, literary analysis of Bradstreet’s “Here Follows Some Verses Upon the Burning of Our House.” 

Directions

Answer the following questions with at least 300 words:

How does Bradstreet’s poem embody her Puritan beliefs? In other words, what about this poem makes it a truly Puritan text? 

For your response, make sure to use specific evidence to support your analysis. 

For poems or shorter works, you can certainly paraphrase/summarize, but a direct quotation here or there is going to help you land your points. 

• When quoting a poem, you need to cite the line number: Ex. “In silent night when rest I took / For sorrow near I did not look” (1-2).
