Do Now: Look over the poem: "Here Follow Some Verses upon the Burning of Our House, July 10, 1666". Why does Anne Bradstreet say in the first verse, 
"It was His own, it was not mine"? What does she mean? Is she being a good Puritan?
Classwork:

1. "Here Follow Some Verses upon the Burning of Our House, July 10, 1666". 
Bradstreet flip-flops between feeling sorry for her losses and being annoyed with herself.
Why? What do these shifts in tone tell you about the Puritan Era?
            Answer reading questions for this poem.
2. "Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God" Jonathon Edwards.
