Fading World Hath End By Anne Brastreet

This poem talks about nature and death. William Cullen Bryant shares that nature can make death less painful. He says that when we start to think about death, we should go outside, and look around and listen to the natural earth sounds. This is supposed to remind us that when we die, we will mix back into the earth. The poem tells us that when we die, we will not be alone. We will be with every other person that has ever been buried, In the ground, which in this poem is called the “great tomb of man”. It also tells us that even those that are still living will soon die and join in the great tomb of man. This poem is meant to comfort those that are afraid of dying and death in general. At the end of the poem, we are told to think of death as

What is in store for the future of our planet and what actions can we take to help it?

Imagine waking up to a scream of terror, your room engulfed in flames, and smoke filling your lungs as you choke coughing for air. Look deeper, and further imagine having a house full of your own children scrambling to exit in time before the house burns and crumbles to ashes. This is what Anne Bradstreet woke up too as she explained in “Upon the Burning of the House” on July 10th, 1666, as she stood and watched her house glow in a blaze of flames. Anne has many concerns as her house has burned down, but she looks on the brighter side, the Puritan side, and she knows that God has made her a house in heaven and that everything happens for a reason and God has better things waiting for her than Anne had before the fire. She starts to show her

The book, The Shattering Sky, by Erin Hunter, is a very good book. It is about how foreign cats from outside of the forest that are brutal and destroyed Skyclan, and old cat clan, came over to the Forest clans. Their Leader, DarkTail, was a very smart individual. He knew how to fight cats and how to teach them. Some new information I learned today was that DarkTail, a treacherous cat, is actually OneStar's son. Onestar was a very good and respected leader of WindClan. Onestar was even known to all the clans that he was brave and strong. In the text, Alder Paw says, “Onestar was the most respected and bravest leader of all time” ( Erin 158). Even a cat from another clan was saying that Onestar was a good cat. Onestar basically disowned Darktail

Born in England in 1612 and brought to the New World eighteen years later (Piercy 13), Anne Bradstreet would go on to become one of both Europe’s and North America’s most premier poets. Brought up in a Puritan family, she was imbued with a strong, traditionalist sense of faith and community, with an especially fervent emphasis on family (Rosenmeier 15). Many of her works – the bulk of which were written to be shared privately with her closest relatives and acquaintances – are odes to those closest to her, and testaments to this family-oriented approach to writing. “To My Dear and Loving Husband” is one such poem, and also one of her most iconic works. On the other end of the spectrum are poems like “The Prologue,” one of the minority of her poems written with a broader audience in mind, this one touching upon complex social issues. Despite this, both are prime examples of this quality of hers, and are, in a way, also perfect representations of the era and setting

There are and have been many great writers throughout the world. One of those great American writers is Anne Bradstreet. She continuously wrote about scenes of her life, detailing her feelings and emotions throughout each word written by herself. For example, one of her mostly recognized poem, “To My Dear and Loving Husband,” she writes of how she felt her relationship was with her husband (Baym, et al., 2013). Anyhow, she mostly focused in poems that included her family. She has one talking about the birth of one of her children, another about her husband, about her grandchild, and so on (Baym, et al., 2013). However, one of the most touching poems that Bradstreet has is “To My Dear and Loving Husband.” In this poem, I was actually to understand

Over the years, societies of all shapes and sizes have focused their attention toward basic fundamental living. Clothing, housing, occupation, and food are among these basic necessities. Humanity’s existence has been so concentrated, that the likelihood of global catastrophe has been deemed inconceivable. However, this blindfold of oblivion unveils in a recent short story. Ray Bradburry’s “The Last Night of the World”, uses dialogue to express the theme of consciousness in efforts to awaken readers of the possibility of natural disaster.

In Anne Bradstreet, she uses her poetry to talk upon herself and her family. Bradstreet is famous for three understanding poems. She writes her first poem “To My Dear and Loving Husband” to show her love to him that no other woman can compete with her love. She compares their love as one being. She feels that there is no way she could repay him for his gracious love.

This poem is interpreted as a farewell letter to Bradstreet’s husband. She decides to write the poem considering she lies on her death bed during labor. Given that in the 16th Century death during childbirth was common, the author fears there is a chance of death. She expresses feelings of sorrow and sadness as she comes to the conclusion death is inescapable. “Fading world hath end” (1), “adversity doth still our joys attend” (2), she introduces death as inevitable and how all things come to an end; how happiness isn’t eternal. Death is coming for the speaker “How soon, my Dear, death may my steps attend,” (7). Knowing her fate the speaker writes the memoir, as adieu to her husband, her children and in a way her life on Earth. The author portrays death as a common thing, a place where all things done in this life meet.

The world was dying, we all knew this time was coming, how soon we just didn’t know that. The year was 2072 and the human race was in pure panic. The soil and water were too poisoned to grow food and the hazy pollution did nothing for the plants that did grow. The leading men and women of my time started looking for an out, trying everything they could to clean the soil and water and the air, so we could survive. But nothing worked, and the human race was slowly dying off. That’s where I came in, my name is Alfred Jones and along with my twin sister Andrea we were sent out to find a new home. We just didn’t expect the adventures that awaited us. Among two hundred other young men and women we partnered up and searched the galaxies of any

This poem was written by Dylan Thomas who had been acknowledged as one of the most important Welsh poets of the 20th century. The poem is a son’s plea to his dying father. Thomas shows four different kinds of people in four stanzas – wise men, good men, wild men and grave men so as to encourage his father to fight against death rather than to accept in silence. The tone used in the poem is passionate and intense. “Rage, rage against the dying of the light” (line 3) is an attitude the old is supposed to hold. “Old age should burn and rave at close of day” (line 2) is exactly the theme that the poet wants to pass on.

Throughout this poem, the author establishes a bleak and morbid mood concerning death. She mentions how she was too busy to stop for death, which I assume is the reason for death coming to her. In the beginning, she states, “Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me…since then- ‘tis Centuries- and yet feels shorter than the Day,” which led me to the theme being that death comes for you whether you are busy or not. Unfortunately, I have heard of many people dying without completing goals or jobs that they had set for themselves before they died. Also, time is apparently different when you are dead because towards the end of the poem, she explains how a century felt shorter than a day. Even though I am not dead, I can relate

“Contemplations” by Anne Bradstreet is a poem of thirty-three, seven-line stanzas that consider different parts of nature and scriptural history and reflect upon their profound importance. The title recommends that the poem is an accumulation of separated reflections, yet inside of the poem are a few structures that each builds on an initial thought over various stanzas. On the whole, these examinations and contemplations are included with the regular scene of pioneer America. These verses are entirely private perceptions of human instinct, using the New England scene as an augmentation of self. As a female, she acquires the male dialect with a particular end goal to make her explanations of sacred text and social ideas of God.

“The many faults that well you know I have / Let be interr’d in my oblivious grave; / If any worth or virtue were in me, / Let that live freshly in thy memory,” in these few lines she explains to her husband that she is not perfect (15-17). Because she has flaws, she wanted her husband to remember her for the goodness she had instead. As said before, she hopes that she will live on, if not in person than in memory through her children. Many soon to be mothers during this time also did not want to be forgotten after they have passed; each woman had their own legacy to leave behind and be remembered by. The legacy Bradstreet left behind was her work, “Her status as a mother, as well as a writer, makes a true severance with the h impossible, as those things she has ‘birthed’ in this life (both babes and books) will remain behind her,” (Tamulis 9). The book Samantha C. Tamulis refers to is, “The Author to Her Book”, the poem Bradstreet wrote to express how she felt as though the book she wrote was like her

In the first few lines of the poem, the writing shows how many people fear death, but then shows how in reality, death has no power over them. The writer then goes on to write how it does not matter if he dies because afterward he will go to a place much better, and here the author refers to the hope for the future in reference to heaven. After that, death get call a slave because he is only ever included with evil thoughts and unfriendly people. This again demonstrates why people should not the fear death because he has no control over anybody and his only power it to kill which means nothing. Finally, the poem displays another times, how after death complies with his job, then he actually dies and the people he killed get to live forever in heaven, showing again how he has no power and how hope can be found in
