4) Some Colonial Poetry.

From a general perspective of what we could understand about this

topic (Some Colonial Poetry), this one talks a lot about biblical readings
and how many poets wrote about it, and how they joined groups to
discuss them. They say that the psalms had to be translated, and that
it was a simple translation. In fact, Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor
were some of the best poets of the colonial period who were the best
of their time. Bradstreet could not develop very well as a poet because
she was a WOMAN, but when she died a series of poems written by
her appeared, and many of them were written for her husband and
children. Taylor wrote poems for his future wife, as he had two
marriages and had 14 children. Finally, Taylor showed much more
interest in poetry than Bradstreet herself.

5) Enemies Within and Without.

In relation to this topic, it explains us that the faith that the Puritans had
at that time was everything; Edward Taylor talks about enemies within
and without. The enemies within are people who had been displaced
by settlers, and who were Native Americans. It should be noted, that
Mary White Rowlandson was caught to be murdered and her children,
neighbors and relatives were taken with her; many of them were killed
but Rowlandson was released and one of her sons was killed. After six
years, Rowlandson wrote her story of her entire experience. On the
other hand, the enemies without were noted for the great murders they
caused due to many witch trials that they did. Something very
notorious that Cotton Mather wrote in his book was "The New
Englanders are a people of God settled in those, which were once the
devil's territories". Mather also announces in his book that women were
condemned in Salem because they represent a "terrible plague of evil
angels”. To conclude with this topic, in the city of Salem,
Massachusetts they murdered the vast majority of people just for the
fact that they were doing witchcraft. In those days people were very
religious and did not allow them to do wrong things.
