What Is The Difference Between Jonathan Edwards And Upon The Burning Of Our Home

Long ago, Two famous poets, Anne Bradstreet, an elegant poet, religious, faithful, dear, and loving woman. Some famous poems from Anne Bradstreet can be To my dear and loving husband, and Upon the burning of our house. Jonathan Edwards is a strong poet, religious, faithful, gloomy, and threateningly persuasive. One of Edwards's famous poems can be Sinners in the hands of an angry god. Moreover, these two poets have much of a different yet similar poet styles. Anne Bradstreet was a woman who believed in how god owns everything and to be happy with what you have. While Jonathan Edwards was more forceful and if you made god angry you go to hell. The two poets both are religious in their poems. The poets were strong in their time of day, many

I would like to show how two different poets can be so apart yet so alike. Anne Bradstreet was so loving and she loved what she had and how she loved. “ I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold” ( 116, line 5). Jonathan Edwards was so convincing as well as forceful. “We find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth” ( 124, Line 1 ). Anne Bradstreet was a religious woman, she showed in her poems and short stories how god has helped her and the way she felt about god. “ I, starting up, the light did spy, and to my God, my heart did cry”. ( 118, Line ⅞). As you can see Anne Bradstreet looks to god for a lot, while Jonathan Edwards was also a religious faithful man, he believed in how god holds the life of humans in his hands. “So that, thus it is that natural men are held in the hand of God,” (Page 126, Line 28) . Edwards put religion in his poems in ways that Bradstreet wouldn't. “ Thus easy is it for God when he pleases to cast his enemies down to hell“ ( 124, Line 3). What you just read was just one example of the way Edwards expresses his beliefs in his poems. On the contrary, Bradstreet showed religion in a way that people would like to read into more about. “The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.” (116, Line 10). Anne wanted to show people how you can look too good for everything and he will help you. Unlike Anne, Jonathan wanted to show how if you

I know I gave similarities but there's only a little I can find. The two poets have the same belief in a god but different ways in how that god acts. “Yet by His gift is made thine own;” (119 Line 50) Anne is showing how god gives her all these things and she is so attached to them they are hers but when everything happens she feels so upset because she will never have the memories she had back with this stuff yet she's still happy because god gave it to her so it's not just hers it's his. She grew so close to the stuff god gave her, anything that was his was also hers. Jonathan has never really shown anything like that in his poems. “And now you have an extraordinary opportunity, a day wherein Christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open” ( 129 Line 90 ). Edwards would show more of how God gives opportunities, but when those opportunities were ruined he would send you to hell right away. He wanted people to think that if you didn't follow god and broke his rules you would be going to hell. The two poets showed their beliefs in their poems, they both made people value god and made more people follow god. These two poets both had the similarity of making people follow God. “ It was His own, it was not mine, Far be it that I should repine” ( 118 Line 17/18) Anne also had some doubts that if she was upset god would be a little upset with her but in Edwards's case if this happened Anne
