Anne+Bradstreet+Writing+Prompt

Pre-AP Prompt The initial texts we read in class presented writers’ religious faith as complete and unquestioning. Anne Bradstreet, however, is a bit different, as she struggled with a variety of inner conflicts: Christianity and her connection with it being perhaps the foremost. In a clear, well-constructed and brief essay (2-3 pages)**,** analyze Anne Bradstreet’s inner conflict as expressed in her poetry. While you are not limited to her poetry in your anthology, you must use as support a minimum of three we studied in class. Be certain to meet the basic standards of composition as well as to use textural evidence to support your response. As always, you are welcome to come to me in room 1009 after school from 2:45 to 5:40, Monday through Thursday for help. This essay is due Wednesday, September 24, 2008. English Dept.
