Anne Bradsreet/In Reference to Her Children, 23 June 1659
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page explication of this poem by Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672), America's first published poet, who wrote her verse while raising eight children, and performing all of the wifely duties expected of Puritan wife in colonial New England (Anne Bradstreet). While Bradstreet stepped somewhat outside the societal sphere of hearth and home, which was the accepted realm of women, by writing verse, her verse underscored her understanding of the domestic role, and therefore, did not offend Puritan society. Her poem "In Reference to her Children, 23 June 1659" expresses a mother's pride at the accomplishments of her children, as well as mother's fears at having her little ones leave the "nest" and fly away on their own.

Anne Bradstreet/Rhetoric, Themes & Style
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page research paper essay that analyzes and discusses the work of Anne Bradstreet, who was the first American poet to have her work published. Bradstreet accomplished this while simultaneously raising eight children within the social context of Puritan colonial society, which had strict views on appropriate decorum and gender roles. While it violates Puritan concepts of the appropriate role for a woman by Bradstreet entering the public arena as a published author, examination of her rhetoric, themes and style demonstrates why Bradstreet’s work met with widespread approval. Basically, this was because her poems demonstrated her dedicated religious orientation and her love and dedication to her family. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Anne Moody's "Coming Of Age In Mississippi"
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. A perfect society would reflect an attitude of equality -- rather than one of segregation -- toward the myriad ethnicities that exist in today's world; however, as much as humanity has moved away from racism, there have been just as many issues that have stalled its enlightenment. Anne Moody's "Coming of Age in Mississippi" effectively addresses this notion as it relates to racial alliance and attitudes in post World War II America. Indeed, the author's life story – both her experiences and evolving thinking on race, gender and social relations – clearly demonstrate the origins, evolution and social/political consequences of the Civil Rights movement. No additional sources cited.

Anne Tyler/Women & Social Isolation
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page essay that discusses Anne Tyler's novels Celestial Navigation and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. Anne Tyler's novels have been described as "songs written in the key of hardship" (Patrick 24). In many of Tyler's narratives, her female protagonists are isolated, divorced from the company of other women, which denies them the sort of social support that women draw on from each other. In Tyler's novels, also, mothers are seldom resources for daughters. They are frequently out of touch with who their daughters are and are too caught up in their own emotional needs to tend to those of their children. Daughters who are raised by such mothers find that they, likewise, have no emotional resources on which to draw to nourish their own children and the cycle perpetuates itself. Furthermore, the women's emotional isolation prevents them from developing any sort of true intimacy with the men in their lives. These isolated, emotionally-starved women find themselves primarily in their situations due to breakdowns in communication, as well as misplaced assumptions about what is important in life. This pattern of development is particularly clear in Tyler's novels Celestial Navigation and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
