Anne Bradstreet felt trapped by her feelings of loss after the fire, and by her Puritan beliefs. As shown in the cartoon, a person is trapped in their house while it is on fire. This represents that in the current housing market, once you buy a house, you are trapped with it. This connects to Anne's feelings in that she felt trapped because she was mourning the loss of her possessions, therefore giving value to them. However, Puritan beliefs state that possessions cannot have value, only God can have value. To sum up, the cartoon show someone trapped by the housing market, which connects to Anne's feelings trapping her.
Jamie - Nice job - I like the angle you are taking. Please see me re: topic sentence. We need to rewrite a bit so that a controlling idea is presented -not so much to Anne Bradstreet but to the overall argument of the paragraph. Thank you.
