Chооse ONE questiоn to аnswer. Your аnswer should demonstrаte critical engagement with the material, textual evidence, and clear, organized writing. Analyze: Both Anne Bradstreet and Mary Rowlandson were Puritan women who expressed their faith through writing. However, their works serve different purposes and reflect different experiences. Compare and contrast how each woman presents her relationship with God. What role does suffering play in their expressions of faith, and how do their works reflect Puritan beliefs about divine providence? Evaluate: Mary Rowlandson’s Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration has been criticized for its portrayal of Native Americans, yet it was one of the most widely read works of its time. To what extent should Rowlandson’s account be read as a historical document, and to what extent should it be read as Puritan propaganda? Support your argument with evidence from the text and historical context. Apply: Anne Bradstreet’s poetry often explores themes of love, loss, and spiritual reflection within the constraints of Puritan culture. Choose one of Bradstreet’s poems and connect its themes to a modern issue or experience. How might Bradstreet’s reflections on personal suffering, devotion, or the role of women still resonate today? Create: Imagine that Mary Rowlandson and Anne Bradstreet were able to meet and discuss their experiences as Puritan women. Write a dialogue between them in which they discuss faith, suffering, and the expectations placed upon women in their society. Use evidence from their texts to make their perspectives authentic. Understand: Both Rowlandson’s and Bradstreet’s works are shaped by Puritan theology, particularly the belief in divine intervention and the idea of testing one’s faith through hardship. Synthesize their works by identifying how each woman portrays God's role in their personal struggles. How does their writing either reinforce or complicate Puritan views on suffering and redemption?
