Upon discovering the poetry of Mistress Bradstreet I was immediately infused with wonder. Such feats could never be accomplished in the eyes of my father, but Mistress Bradstreet was clearly devoid of any defect of the brain. Every verse is lined with intellect, such as that of my father. I cannot help but think that Father might be misguided. The verses are constructed perfectly to raise my spirits. After all, if she might achieve such able fluency, who is to deny the Puritan woman respect. I…

With the birth of another girl, many people of England viewed Mary as a Lady rather than a princess, due to the fact that she no longer was in direct line of succession (Loades 11). Many people…

best describe The Diary of Anne Frank is “optimism”. I chose this word first because it seems to be the recurring message of every chapter Anne writes. Especially towards the end of the story. For example, Anne writes about how the war will end soon for them, and that they will be home soon.

For example, Anne mentions often how…
