We have read many poems and gruesome stories about women and men in the captivity of the Indians or just Puritan life in general and the view of the world of that time. Puritans have a way of life that is strict by the rules, and only for the people that are truly dedicated enough to follow. Few have had the opportunity to publicize their accounts, but Rowlandson and Bradstreet have been so lucky to do so. I would like to discuss in the publications of Anne Bradstreet's "Upon the Burning of Our House" and Mary Rowlandson's, "A Narrative of the Captivity and Restauration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson." They both have survived the destruction of their families and their material possessions turned to ashes. They also believe this was an act of God as a punishment and that is was directly related to their suffering. This suffering according to both writer's Puritan beliefs. "She was confident that her suffering possessed a divine purpose and that she had survived them only because God intended for them to be intrusive" (216). Yet, throughout their misery, they both still hang on to their faith in God to restore their hope in survival, and pray for deliverance from evil.
Mary Rowlandson's small town of Lancaster, Massachusetts was attacked and she and her family became prisoners of the Indians. She was forced to witness the death of one of her children among other disturbing scenes. Her narrative was published then soon after it became famous by giving us "pictures of native American life" (216). This "picture" we construe is "spiritual as well as physical" (216). She wrote exactly how she felt at the time she felt it. The story she tells us was her belief of how God punishes those who do not follow the covenant of God as well as Bradstreet shows us the same concept of Gods punishment. .
Anne Bradstreet accepted the way of life in the new world as a Puritan and the primitively conditions that surrounded her, because she was "convinced that her transplantation was part of God's plan" (175).
