In "Upon the Burning of Our House," Bradstreet explains the loss of her house has helped her realize that the promise of heaven is more important and valuable than any material possessions. Which lines from the poem best convey this thought?

"Here stood that trunk, and there that chest, / There lay that store I counted best."

"There’s wealth enough, I need no more, / Farewell, my pelf, farewell, my store."

"When by the ruins oft I past / My sorrowing eyes aside did cast"

"And to my God my heart did cry / To strengthen me in my distress"

What does the author see as the main cause for why students don’t really see shakespeare as a real, flawed human being? we shouldn’t shy away from discussing our literary heroes’ flaws. if nothing else, the knowledge of their failures us appreciate what success and greatness these authors did achieve. often our hero-worship keeps us from truly seeing the complexity of a great author. thus, i would argue, nothing would be better for high school students than to take shakespeare down a peg or two. a) the fact that students never learn enough about shakespeares biography b) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s comedies while in school c) the fact that students are never assigned to read any shakespeare while in high school d) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s greatest works in school and thus never see his weaknesses
