Answer 6

"Most of the early American writers' ideals and values were based on Christianity. They believed that for every action, they would either be punished or rewarded or punished by God and that he has a plan that should not be questioned. Like in Anne Bradstreet's poem "Upon the Burning of Our House" she writes "Adieu, Adieu, All's Vanity." This was an allusion from the Old Testament, which suggests that it is foolish and selfish to mourn over earthly possessions."
