Today, a lot more women feel the need to assert their rights in having a say in the government and trying to save the economy. For example, the political cartoon shows that the government has a meeting on family planning, and an old woman is standing up telling the people “I vote we outlaw thong underwear!” This shows that the woman is trying to address the underlying problems of women, not just the outward appearance. Also, the political cartoon shows Obama and many other younger members of the meeting looking at her with shock and disgust. This shows that they had not realized that the underlying problems have created such an uprising, because all people are doing in the government is looking at the surface and seeing new things that would improve the country instead of trying to figure out how to fix the old problems. This is very similar to Anne Bradstreet’s poetry because the poetry is about her love for her husband, her children leaving her nest, and her house burning down, which are all surface conflicts. However, the meaning of these poems are much deeper than that, and it takes a lot of analysis to determine the real meaning of them.

Anne Bradstreet
The poem that impressed me most was "Upon the Burning of Her House" because I feel like it shows her struggles and inner feelings more than the rest. You can see her constant pulling from materialism to puritanism and the difficulty to not be upset.
