Discussion Homework: Week 3

INITIAL POST

In this week’s poetry and prose, we see vivid imagery and figurative language used to convey both public and private/domestic concerns of New England Puritans.

Copy at least one quote each from Bradstreet, Taylor, Sewell, Mather, and Edwards. For each quote, discuss:

    why you selected it and how that quote is representative of the writer;
    whether the quote shows personal or public concerns – or whether there is an overlap between the two;
    the extent to which the quote fits your expectations of Puritan life and/or the extent to which it diverges from those expectations.

Write in complete sentences.
