She question [didst thy wealth on earth abide?]. She is asking herself is earthly wealth important compared to what God has prepared for us in heaven.

Bradstreet’s beliefs are mostly found in her own works and writings, which is why hey poems are greatly analyzed for her thoughts on Puritanism and feminism.

But a guest judge Nicole Scherzinger though were grouped together to become One Direction. Mentored by Simon Cowell they soon became the favorites to win the show thanks to Kelly Clarkson's song"My Life Would Suck Without You," Elton John's song "Something About the Way You Look Tonight"…

Simon Cowell was able to find five voices that each complimented each other uniquely to create complex harmonies that most bands can’t achieve. Because of this, the band has received 281 award nominations in its 5 years, and has won 169 of them.

Like most writers Anne Bradstreet wrote about what she knew or what was important to her, and what was important to her were her strong beliefs in her puritan values and concerns she had as a puritan. Bradstreet’s poetry conveys the puritan values of not attaching yourself to worldly possessions. She also writes on seeking God and doing Gods will, and her concern of the brevity of life and the certainty of death is a “traditional” concern she had as a puritan, that she expressed in her poetry.…

learned about it and had a test on it.
