Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Anne Bradstreet and Mary Rowlandson usually write about family, puritanism and motherhood. They both talk about their role like women in the puritan society.

On the other hand, William Bradfors and John Winthrop write about their experience during the trip and God's providence.

All of theme have in common the faith and importance of God in their lives, and also the charity and the importance of helping others.

Answer 2

The difference between the two are that the women most likely show more emotion in their writing, the women also probably talk about their children and love for them. The men would most likely write more about their adventures exploring, their hard work building the houses and running a farm. Similarities would include the hardships they included in their writing. While they would describe the hardships differently and the women may include more emotions, they both go into detail about the hard times and the Indian captivities.
