Answer:

In the stanzas containing the famous phrase 'of mice and men' Robert Burns, the poet, compares a rat's ability to live in the present to the human's inability.

Explanation:

Robert Burns is one of the defining figures of Romantic thought. <u>this poem compares the state of bliss that animals live in to the unnatural life a human leads</u> due to their excessive thinking and the woes of modern life.

this is evident in the last 2 stanzas of the poem 'to a mouse' when Burns first calls the mouse 'no thy-lane<u>'</u> and then <u>calls it more fortunate because it can blissfully live in the present</u> while<u> a human is doomed to worry about the future and keep thinking about the past.</u>

In at least 150 words, explain how Rowlandson upheld the Puritan literary tradition with The Narrative of the Captivity and Rest
Natasha_Volkova [10]
<span>A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson was a work of writing by Mary Rowlandson about the author's experience as a captive during King Phillip's War. Rather than give a detailed, accurate account of her experiences, Rowlandson wrote vividly, appealing to emotions and emphasizing individual experience. Her purpose was to explore the relationship between individuals and God, or between the real world and the spiritual world; this was the Puritan literary tradition.</span>
