If you have questions on the Bradstreet/ Taylor essay, I will be live at 7:00 to answer questions! Also Editors feel free to give your advice. My biggest suggestions is to lay out your essay like this:

Thesis (Intro)
In “To my Dear and Loving Husband” and “Huswifery,” both Bradstreet and Taylor use _(concept 1) and _(concept 2) to reveal _(theme like motif related to the speakers of the poems think roles of wives).

Body 1=Concept 1

Topic Sentence introducing concept
Bradstreet example
Commentary Explaining concept
Commentary Explaining connection to theme
Taylor example
Commentary Explaining concept
Commentary Explaining connection to theme
Conclusion Sentence reviewing concept and transitioning to body 2

Body 2=Concept 2

same as body 1

Conclusion Thesis Restatement

The war is not against you first period, just against Phillips. Let it be known that Smurf killing will not go unpunished!

It’s that time of the year!
