Write a paragraph comparing and contrasting how the poets use topic, rhyme scheme, and figurative language to convey their themes.

Answer:

Both Anne Bradstreet and Phillis Wheatley use couplets to organize their poems and figurative language to reveal their inner thoughts. Bradstreet’s topic is writing and self-criticism; she compares her poem to an imperfect child or book that she tries to correct. Wheatley focuses on the beauty and power of nature, using more nature imagery to connect the natural world to her theme. Therefore, the poets use similar rhyme schemes and figurative language, but they develop different themes through their topics and images.
