Question

What are the central ideas in Anne Bradstreet’s “As Weary Pilgrim, Now at Rest”?

Answer 1

I think A because The burning sun no more shall heat
Nor stormy raines, on him shall beat.
The bryars and thornes no more shall scratch
nor hungry wolues at him shall catch
He erring pathes no more shall tread
nor wild fruits eate, in stead of bread,
for waters cold he doth not long
for thirst no more shall parch his tongue
No rugged stones his feet shall gaule
nor stumps nor rocks cause him to fall
All cares and feares, he bids farwell
and meanes in safity now to dwell.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: A) rebirth and rejuvenation

Pay attention to this line of the poem:

All cares and feares, he bids farwell

and meanes in safity now to dwell.

This lines infer that the speaker are willing to leave the fear and worry that previously become a burden in the speaker's life. This could be translated into the transformation or rejuvenation that the speaker experience into someone with new outlook or personality.
