Anne Bradstreet
Anne Bradstreet's poem "The Author to Her Book" is a very extraordinary poem. Many people when first reading it, think it's about a mother and her deformed child. In fact, it is not. The poem is about her work, which was taken without her consent by her friends and her brother. They took her works and had them published, for all to see. In this poem Mrs. Bradstreet uses many different tones, such as sad, embarrassed, and shy. She was a very talented writer. In the first four lines of the poem, Anne Bradstreet uses different metaphors to get you to believing that she is talking about her child not a piece of her work.
For example, after birth did'st my side remain. She is realizing that her work just needs a little polishing. Bradstreet talks of, "a rambling brat". When her brother took her work she had no time to fix it or error proof it. She is making it seem like she is speaking of a child instead of her work. You start feeling sympathy for the writer as you see her concern for her belongings being taken from her and shown to the public. Here she is referring to a child that tells everything , and speaks of things it should not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. In lines eleven through fourteen she talks about trying to fix her but the more she tried to fix it the worse it got. These all make you feel like something bad has happened and something is wrong. Her tone is still very embarrassed and upset that her work was publish through this section. Anne Bradstreet was also trying to love it cause it was her own work, and it did come from her. She talks of it as though it was worthless and not worthy for any one to read.
