Explain the controlling metaphor in "The Author to Her Book." Give two examples to support your answer. 5. Describe Anne's reaction to the smoldering remains of her house? What does she value in life? Would you have a similar reaction if your house burned down? Explain.

Conciet- comparison between two different things in a poem(metaphor) Example:: "Huswifery" robe=spiritual life

Controlling Metaphor-the entire poem is organized by the metaphor. The poem may talk about one thing but its really about something else. You have to figure out what it is about.

Steph & Jehida "Huswifery" 1. What is the conceit in the poem? He is comparing his spiritual and a robe. As if God is using the spinning wheel to weave his relationship with God. 2. What phrases or aspects of the poem are not typical of Puritan plain style? He was driven in his work when he said "My words, and actions, that their shine may fill My ways with glory and Thee glorify. 3. Regarding #1 cite some examples of the conceit. In the Huswifery they compare the spinning wheel to the distaff, and the Loom to the holy spirt.

__Plymouth__ 1. Reaction: In the first section it talks about them sailing and they were in a storm. I can imagine that it would be scary to be in the ocean on a ship when there is a storm and the waves are big and it would just be a scary situation. In the next part they are lacking food and people are dying as the winter nears and they seem to turn on each other at times. I think when it gets tough and the people start dying they need to work together and stay strong or no one will make it. Finally they met the Indians. I think its good that they used the help from them. 2. Some hardships were the rough seas, the winter, disease, lack of food, lack of skill, and turning against each other.
