You must complete the readings on Anne Bradstreet from this unit in order to write this paper:
Assigned readings from the textbook
Mistress Bradstreet: The Untold Life of America’s First Poet by Charlotte Gordon (finish reading the entire book)
Assignment
Write a paper offering your interpretation and analysis of Anne Bradstreet’s poetry and life using both readings from the textbook and from Gordon’s biography. You may incorporate peer-reviewed articles from the Alabama Virtual Library databases, as well.
The paper should be as long as it needs to be to achieve your purpose, which is to support and develop the analysis you offer. Support and development takes the form of examples and quotes from the relevant texts.
Things to Consider
If you’ve never written a literary analysis before, or if you simply feel stuck when starting out on the paper, consider the following:
You should offer analysis of her poems; root this analysis in specific evidence from her poems; focus on themes, poetic devices Links to an external site.(rhyme, for instance)
Your analysis of her poems should reflect an understanding of her life and times, as rooted in Gordon’s biography, so you should include evidence from Gordon’s book, as well as careful analysis.
In addition to examining her poetry and her life and times, you should develop a position on her influence on American literature and history rooted, again, in a close reading of her poems and Gordon’s biography. An examination of her place in literature and history could, of course, involve incorporating other readings and material from the course that we have already covered. In addition, you are welcome to do research in the academic databases in Alabama Virtual Library.

The 3–4-page literature review should be facilitated and organized based on your preliminary work constructing the annotated bibliography.
In the literature review, you are analyzing, synthesizing, and distilling existing research to demonstrate how your research questions further thinking in relation to the problem or issue identified.
Please note that the literature review will likely assist you in once again revising your research questions. (Some of you are already going through this while working on your annotated bibliography 😉

Tips
Numbers – numbers 1 – 100 must be written out
*Avoid using second person you and your as second person is not considered academic writing – use of the pronoun you will count off as one error under style/mechanics for each time it is used in the assignment.
*I pronoun – avoid using the pronoun I except in the case of the narration essay.
Avoid the following phrases: [in conclusion], [to wrap things up], [in my opinion], [I believe], [I feel], [in today’s day and age], [in today’s society], [since the dawn of time], [to be honest], and [if you ask me].
A well-written paragraph consists of seven to twelve sentences. Anything less will result in a three-point deduction for each sentence less than seven (e.g. a 5-sentence paragraph will automatically lose six points because it does not have at least seven sentences).
Papers must be written in MLA format (twelve-point font, double-spaced, one-inch margins, header, page number, indented paragraphs, etc.) Visit the OWL Perdue website for formatting specifics.
Comments from Customer
Dear Writers, this order is only for the outline. The customer uploaded the template for the outline and said that 2 pages should be enough.

In 200 words, complete a close reading/literary analysis of one of the chapters of Miguel Street (Make sure that you don’t just pick the first chapter to avoid reading the rest of the book). In your analysis, state the title/number of your selected chapter, briefly discuss the plot, and offer your interpretation of the chapter. Consider these questions as you approach your analysis: what is significant about the events of the chapter? How are the characters in the chapter interacting with each other? What are the characters saying? What are they feeling or experiencing? How does the story connect to the themes of the book, overall, and to the ways Naipaul chose to depict Trinidad in the book? You don’t have to answer all these questions in your response, but you should consider all of them when reading and interpreting the story before you begin to write.
Don’t forget to include specific quotes (including page numbers) from Miguel Street to receive full credit, and write 200 words, at least.
