JOURNAL #6:
Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor, two
Puritan poets who we will be studying today,
valued family life and their religious faith
above all things. What do you value most in
your life? Explain.
• A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares
two unlike things without using like or as. (example: Our
house is our nest.)
• An extended metaphor is one that draws the
comparison out and compares the two things at length
in many ways. (example: Our house is our nest; we fly
away only to return to its snug protection.)
• Personification is a figure of speech in which an object,
animal, or idea is given human characteristics.
(example: Our house wraps our family in a warm
embrace.)
• Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which the truth is
exaggerated for emphasis. (example: Our house means more
to us than all of the money in the world.)
