Entry C: Edward Taylor (1645-1729)

Thesis: In the poem, "Huswifery", Edward Taylor uses diction, literary conceit and rhyme to convey that in order to gain God's grace, one must take care of your soul as you would take care of your house.

Reflection: I liked "Huswifery" because Edward Taylor uses parts of weaving to describe his evolution. Some words in the poem are hard to understand, but after analyzing them, I understood them much better. I also like how he used literary conceit to conceal God in his poem.
