The primary drivers of human behavior are greatly influenced by the government, social control, and education. These factors play a pivotal role in shaping societies and individuals. Moreover, for many people, they provide a sense of meaning and purpose in life.
2- "That laid my goods now in the dust: Yea, so it was and so "twas just, It was His own, it was not mine Fur be it that I should repine (14-18) - Faith and literature have a significant impact on American literature. In Puritan society, God is often portrayed as a harsh and strict figure, while in Christianity, God is seen as merciful and compassionate. These contrasting beliefs give rise to diverse stories, interpretations of events, practices, and sets of ideals and rules within literature.
3- Sometimes, faith and religion can prevent people from seeing the truth clearly. This happens when people attribute events in their lives solely to God, even though there might be other explanations for what occurred."I blest his name that gave and took, That laid my goods now in the dust" (Bradstreet 14-15)
4-Faith and religion have the power to uncover truths for individuals. Many people believe that when certain events occur, it is a sign of their fate in the afterlife, whether it be heaven or hell. This belief helps them determine if they have been good or bad in their actions and choices."Raise up thy thoughts above the sky" (Bradstreet 41)]]> 2023-09-11 19:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kybvital/usuvcyo517s0lrn/wish/2698029536 kybvital https://padlet.com/kybvital/usuvcyo517s0lrn/wish/2698040417 -After the burning of her house she looks towards God and faith

This belief played a significant role in the lives of ordinary people, shaping their relationship with God and influencing their actions and decisions.
2- "That laid my goods now in the dust: Yea, so it was and so "twas just, It was His own, it was not mine Fur be it that I should repine (14-18) - The theme of God is frequently explored in American literature. In the poem by Bradstreet, where she converses with God in her thoughts, it exemplifies the presence of religious themes found in various texts. This demonstrates how writers often incorporate discussions about God into their literary works.
3- In the poem, Bradstreet suppresses her emotions, which means she keeps her true feelings hidden and does not express them openly to herself or others. This self-restraint prevents her from acknowledging and sharing her genuine thoughts and emotions.
4-Faith and religion can reveal the truth, as seen in Bradstreet's experience. Feeling guilty, she finds comfort in her faith, which provides her with solace and support. This highlights the importance of having a strong support system in one's life, as it can help individuals navigate their emotions and find peace.

Faith doesn't support ideal Puritan women writing. Bradstreet understands that her writing is wrong.
2-American literature reflects the historical reality that women were initially hesitant to publish their literary works. However, over time, an increasing number of women have been gaining the courage to share their pieces with the world. This shift in the literary landscape demonstrates the growing recognition and empowerment of women as they contribute their unique perspectives and voices to the realm of literature.
3-Faith and religion can Influence lives in a way that makes them hesitant to speak out. The fear stems from the belief that any imperfections may lead to being viewed as weak or excluded from the chosen group. This fear of judgment or rejection can create a reluctance to express oneself openly due to the perceived consequences within religious communities.
4-Faith and religion can help uncover the truth because Bradstreet's writings were not perfect and had flaws that she wanted to improve. This shows that nobody is the perfect Puritan, highlighting the idea that everyone has their own imperfections and struggles.]]> 2023-09-21 11:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kybvital/usuvcyo517s0lrn/wish/2714523278 Essential Question kybvital https://padlet.com/kybvital/usuvcyo517s0lrn/wish/2714531850 1-You shouldn't compare yourself to God and instead live according to your own truth. It's more relatable to others when you embrace your uniqueness and don't try to be like everyone else.(an elect) (Bradstreet 23-24)
2- Every day, they dream of a life in heaven and let that belief guide their daily actions. The ultimate goal for how they live their life is to reach a better place, which is heaven. (Bradstreet 15-163
3-Some individuals choose to ignore or overlook anything that contradicts their beliefs. They prefer not to be confronted with different perspectives and instead live in denial, ignoring their own misfortunes or challenges. (Bradstreet pg 2. 2-4)
4- In American literature, there is a tendency to idealize heaven and portray it as a superior realm compared to Earth. This emphasis on heavenly perfection is a recurring theme. Moreover, religion is frequently utilized in literature as a means to convey messages and ideas effectively. It serves as a powerful tool for authors to communicate their thoughts and beliefs to readers.]]> 2023-09-21 11:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kybvital/usuvcyo517s0lrn/wish/2714531850
