Edward Taylor

Thesis Statement- In the poem "Huswifery" bu Edward Taylor, the author uses diction, literary conceit, and rhyme to explain how you need to keep your soul clean and managed like you home in order to gain the grace of God.

In this poem it impressed me how Edward Taylor describes his life to making a cloak. It seems like a weird combination but he made it work as though they were meant to be put together. He ends up sending a message that you need to work hard all your life, which is like making the thread for the coat, and it will pay off by you going to heaven, and with your result of a cloak.
