Prompt In a paragraph-long reflection, I’d like you to consider Phillis Wheatley in connection with Anne Bradstreet. Both were women publishing poetry at a time when that was a rarity. Both writers address themes and utilize stylistic techniques that draw directly from English literary traditions. Yet, Bradstreet (1612-1672) and Wheatley (1753-1784) are of different races, write at different times, and speak of/to different historical and cultural contexts. Write one paragraph comparing/contrasting the poetry of Wheatley and Bradstreet. Support your assertions with textual evidence. Other Details Aim to have a clear central argument and to support your assertions with textual evidence (this can be a direct quote, but it’s also fine to simply describe what you remember). For this assignment, you can use your Norton Anthology (hard copy). Do not use your phone or open other browsers for online searches (this would be considered academic dishonesty). For direct quotes, use parenthetical citations to provide the Norton Anthology page number. Do this also for paraphrases if you have the text in front of you. Do not use generative AI or other outside sources for this assignment–the goal is for you to practice making the sorts of comparisons you’ll make on Exam 2.
