The Author to Her Book by Anne Bradstreet

[PrettyBreann]

This was better than my teacher explaining it to me. You really broke it down very well. You are well educated and much needed. Thanks for your help.

can someone please help me with the last line i still dont get it

"which caused her thus to send thee out of door"

[EnglishGuyinTexas]

The last line likely refers to the status of her manuscript when it left her hands. In other words, it was not as good as she would have liked. Remember that this poem is about her poetry, not a literal child. All though the poem she talks about how her poetry (the child) is not as good as she would have liked. The line just above the last one refers to Bradstreet as "poor." This may refer to money, but it also likely refers to her own estimation of her writing skills, poor in her eyes.

[MsTourettesguy]

Is there a way this man can be compensated for his work? THIS is how Youtube should really be used - to educate and further our development - NOT to hustle useless talent or advertise. He is setting a great example and I wish so many of my professors would do something like this!

Math teachers, RECORD LECTURES so we can replay it over and over as many times are needed. English teachers, RECORD LECTURES so we can revisit the material whenever needed. This is such a great idea! Thank you so much

[mihirkhubchandani]

I found this video very useful, though there are some parts I hardly understand (for language reasons). Is there anyone who could tell me what he says from minute 5:37 to 6:04; from 6:42 to 7:00, and from 8:20 to 8:35?? Thanx!
