In Anne Bradstreet's poem "The Author To Her Book," the tone of the poem is also expressed in what verses that indicate her maternal feelings for the book she created and her desire to fix any flaws?"Yet being mine own, at length affection would Thy blemishes amend, if so I could.""His mother said: 'Loud rings the bell, Its voice ne'er think of scorning; Unless thou wilt behave thee well, Twill fetch thee without warning.'""If for thy Father askt, say, thou hast none; And for thy mother, she alas is poor, Which caus'd her thus to send thee out of door.""Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away."

The Author to Her Book" was written in the mid-1600s by the Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet, after she and her family had emigrated from England to America. In the poem, Bradstreet explores her own feelings towards her one published collection of poetry, which was supposedly published without her knowledge. This is achieved through an extended metaphor in which she characterizes the book as her flawed child: ____________8Mark for ReviewABCWhich quotation from "The Author to Her Book" most effectively illustrates the claim?A"No sooner blown, but dead and gone, / Ev'n as a word that's speaking."B"And for thy Mother, she alas is poor, / Which caus'd her thus to send thee out of door."C"In Criticks hands, beware thou dost not come; / And take thy way where yet thou art not known,"D"In better dress to trim thee was my mind, / But nought save home-spun Cloth, i' th' house I find."

How is the father’s helplessness brought out in the poem?

The poet shares his feelings regarding the relationship with his son. The poet explains they he and his son have spent many years in the same house. However, in spite of spending so many years together, the father still doesn’t understand his son. Furthermore, the father doesn’t know anything about his son. He doesn’t know what his son likes or what he dislikes. The father made an effort to build up a relationship with his son since he was small. However, over the years, change has come in his son. As a grown-up man, his son certainly has changed.The father acknowledges his role in the communication gap between him and his son. He explains that despite his efforts, things are not turning to his side.  He says that his son was in a place that he could not access.  Furthermore, the father tells us that their communication is like the communication of strangers. It seems there is not much attachment between the two. Moreover, there has been no signs of understanding between the father and son. His child had a resemblance in appearance with his father. However, in spite of this resemblance in appearance, the father didn’t know what his son loved.There is a silence between the father and the son. As a child, his son was of a prodigal nature. His father had a desire for his son to return home, the one he knew. The father does not want his son to move around in the world and make his own world. The father was willing to express his forgiveness to his son. Furthermore, the father was willing to let go of the sorrows that he had inside of him due to the existing distance between them. The father certainly had a desire to love him again.Now, the son speaks for the first time and expresses his feelings. Furthermore, the son has a feeling of sadness about the distance between them. Furthermore, the son tells that he is at a point in his life where he does not understand himself. Moreover, the son explains that his anger is due to sadness. Hence, it becomes pretty clear that both the father and son feel the same frustration due to this gap in the relationship. Also, both the father and son are willing to forgive each other. However, they are failing to find a solution to their problem. Both of them put out an empty hand for each other but in futility.

Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,Or bends with the remover to remove:O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,That looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,Whose worth‘s unknown, although his height be taken.Love‘s not Time‘s fool, though rosy lips and cheeksWithin his bending sickle‘s compass come;Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,But bears it out even to the edge of doom.What is the main idea of the text?The speaker is reflecting on a failed romance.eliminateThe speaker is explaining how a relationship has evolved over time.eliminateThe speaker is claiming that love will endure despite the passing of time.eliminateThe speaker is describing the way that storms have an impact on love.
