Worldview The Puritans wanted to “purify” the Church of England. They wanted to return to a more simple form of worship, modeled directly after the Bible.

Worldview The Puritan Credo (statement of beliefs): Human beings are sinful by nature. Salvation belongs to the elect, or God’s chosen, who can be identified by their virtue. Hard work and worldly success are signs of God’s grace. Education is essential in order to read the Word of God. A person should be thrifty, modest, and simple. Society should be ruled by covenants that parallel God’s covenant with his people.

Common Elements of the Literature Puritans modeled their writings after the Bible. They used their writings to explore God’s workings in their inner and outer lives. Diaries and histories were the most common forms of expression. Puritans favored a “plain style” of writing.

Famous Authors William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation Jonathan Edwards, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Anne Bradstreet William Byrd Edward Taylor Mary Rowlandson

“Here Follow Some Verses upon the Burning of Our House, July 10, 1666” About the Author: Anne Bradstreet An immigrant, teenage bride Married to a zealous Puritan who became governor of the Massachusetts Bay colony Exemplary Puritan wife and mother Reputedly the first American poet Battled with illness repeatedly; maintained steadfast faith

“Here Follow Some Verses upon the Burning of Our House, July 10, 1666” Literary Concept: An allusion is a reference to someone or something that is known from history, literature, religion, politics, sports, science, or some other branch of culture. Literary Concept: In an inversion, the words of a sentence or phrase are wrenched out of our normal English syntax, or word order. Example: “When my friend’s face I see, happy I will be” (inverted) “When I see my friend’s face, I will be happy” (normal word order)

“Here Follow Some Verses . . .” Read the together poem (pages 96-97) In groups of 2-3 people (Turn in one paper to google classroom with both of your names at the top on a google doc) Using Bradstreet’s own words, rewrite lines 1-10 and 27-30 without any inversions. Use your footnotes to identify the allusion in the first half of the poem. Page 98: 1-4, 10-14 Paraphrase In small groups, paraphrase Bradstreet's poem in present day English. You do not have to paraphrase every line…But, don’t leave out any of the content!
