Being well read helped both of them to learn vocabulary, spelling, and how to write. When Douglass knew how to read he came upon the word abolition. He didn’t know the meaning of the word so he read the dictionary, and a newspaper until he finally understood the meaning. He writes, “Every little while, I could hear something about abolitionists. It was some time before I…

Anne Bradstreet expresses humility throughout her poems, which emphasize the gender inequality that women face in the 17th century Puritan America into which she was born. Bradstreet writes poems during a time when women are not treated equal as writers or academics, and her writing displays how she faces discrimination on a regular basis.
