Anne+Bradstreet+Points+of+Analysis 

Anne Bradstreet is an American poet who wrote many well-known poems throughout her hard life. A writer for her biography wrote, “her indifference to material wealth, her humility and her spirituality, regardless of religion, made her into a positive, inspirational role model for any of us” (//Anne Bradstreet// 1). Bradstreet mainly wrote about the hardships she faced as a Puritan wife, and is considered a testament of the life of a woman in that time period. Her peers also faced a lot of these hardships, that was how their culture was, and so her audience was able to relate to her poetry. Bradstreet cared deeply for her husband and family, and was devoted to teaching her children. She read them some of her poetry and made sure they were always well taken care of. She also wrote, or implied in her writings, about the human mind and spirit. In her deeply religious time, this was dangerous for her to do, but she wrote about these topics anyways. The mentality of her time period made her poetry different and intriguing, and the simplicity of her writing made a lot of people like her. Even though it was difficult for women in her age to express their ideas, she did it with ease.
