Talk about a role model! Anne Bradstreet is very honest and isn't afraid of discussing about her personal struggles. It's interesting that her father put so much into her education, and that she could have had a very prideful attitude about being very intellectually smart. Especially for that time; when woman were seen as a less of a person than a gentleman.
When she talks about moving to the New World, after marrying. It's interesting how she explains her adjustment to the change. She wrote, "But after I was convinced it was the way of God, I submitted to it and joined the Church at Boston". She was speaking of the new manners she had to get used to, and it's amazing how she could humble herself enough to admit she was wrong-and proceeded to submit to what the Lord was teaching her.
I also admired her letter to her children. She writes about caring way more about their relationship with Christ than anything else, and doesn't want her letter to be glorifying of herself. I liked reading this letter the most, rather than the other articles, because it wasn't about the rhyming and structure of her poems, it was just a letter that explained her life in a very personal way.
