Anne Bradstreet was truly an amazing poet. She had the main puritan ideas, some that she did disagree with, but still upheld what the idea of a puritan woman was supposed to do. She took her free time to write her poetry and become a greater poet. While talking about Bradstreet in the lit circles i was able to compare an instance in my life with the event of her home burning. Upon having my car broken into and my things being stolen, the poem about her house burning, opened my eyes to the fact that God really was a great God that could give and take things away, but he still provides. I have gained a lot of knowledge from Bradstreets poetry about God and how he uses events in peoples lives to change them.
    Bradstreet was a very passionate woman, in some ways it seemed as though she was being sarcastic about the things she was experienceing in life, but really she was serious about them. She felt that it wasn't right for women to be looked down on but she kept her thoughts to herself and confined them to the words she wrote on paper.
