1. What is your image of Anne after reading these poems? Does she fit your concept of a Puritan? Explain. No, because Puritan women are supposed to do the choirs and take care of the kids, they were not supposed to write for enjoyment, but to further their relationship with God. She must of been thought as an outcast or even maybe a witch for writing instead of doing her daily assignments.

2. Where does she use repetition in the first stanza of "To My Dear and Loving Husband." How does her use of repetition suggest a growing emotional intensity? When she says "If ever" It shows how much she loves her husband. As the poem goes on, it shows her emotions growing stronger for him and it ends that they would still love each other in the end.

3. What does the last stanza in "To My Dear and Loving Husband" reveal about Puritan beliefs in the afterlife? That when they die, they live forever in heaven and that God would take care of them in the after life.

4. Explain the controlling metaphor in "The Author to Her Book." Give two examples to support your answer. The controlling metaphor is that her ideas were frowned upon because she wasn't supposed to be writing and in the puritan society men wrote stuff.

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.

She is sad it has burned down and she cries when she walks past it. She values her loved ones and her memories above her worldly possessions. I would be sad that my house burned down, but I would be glade that none of my loved ones were dead and I would be relived that my possessions could be replaced and so could my home.

Conceit-comparison between to different things in a poem. (metaphor in a poem or other words.) Ex:"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's about

Huswifery 1. The conceit of the poem is to his relationship to God and the making of a robe.

2. pinked, which means decorated, Puritans only wore plain clothes. Then dye the same in heavenly colors choice, Puritans did not dye their clothes, they were usually black and other colors that were simple.

3. Then mine apparel shall display before Ye That I am clothed in holy robes for glory.

Then weave the web Thyself. The yarn is fine. Thine ordinances make my fulling mills.

9/11/09 Jamestown- 1. When the people first came to the settlement of Jamestown life was hard. Setting up their own houses and cooking their own food in a strange new land. The Indians did not like them being there so they wanted to kill them. Captain Smith was spared by the indians because Pocahontas protected him. 2. Building their own houses, finding food, and keeping the indians at bay.

I think its amazing how they built a settlement in a hostile land and battled the natives of the new world.
 * -Where is your second picture? Capitalize Indians. How did you react to the piece? -KK 8/10**



Its amazing how the pilgrims came to the new world and made friends with the Indians instead of waging war against them.

3. Cabeza de Vaca- Flat, hot, desert landscape. He thought it was desolate, dry area, and travelers would suffer because of the heat and lack of food and water. Lopez de Cardenas- Deep, rocky, can not traverse. Lopez's men tried to get down the slopes, but encountered obstacle, that were unable to be passed.

4. The similarities would be how the indians they met were peaceful, showed them the land and taught them their culture. The differences were that the indians were at separate parts of the country, one tribe lived in the open desert, while another lived near the rocky slopes of the grand canyon.

5. The one i think was more effective was A Journey Through Texas. It was better at describing what kind of help and directions the indians gave to Cabeza de Vaca and his men. Also, the way they befriended the indians, they prayed to God for the sick to get better and tthe gifts the explorers recieved including food.
