Question

When Bradstreet makes reference to the bible, she is using this literary device

Answer 1

When Bradstreet makes reference to the Bible, she is using the literary device known as allusion.
Allusion is a figure of speech in which an author makes a reference to something outside of that very work. So, in her work, Bradstreet makes an allusion to the Bible. Metaphor is a type of comparison, alliteration means that neighboring words start with the same consonant, and symbolism is the use of symbols.
