Anne Bradstreets `Before the Birth of One of Her Children` is written to her husband. What does the poem suggest about their relationship?

The wo creation speaking in the verse form experiences that the danger of big birth could lead to termination and with deaths parting blowThe sentence by is most irrevocable. With the uncertainty of what the ordeal would bring her, she writes her final words by the poem. It is clear that the woman in the poem has a very reasoned relationship with her husband. She says that the reason why she makes the poem is because she wonders him too much love bids me/These farewell lines to recommend to thee. In her love for him, she is even willing to fork out up some of the years God allots for her life to his husband when she says, And if I see not half my days thats due,/What nature would, God shell out to yours and you Finally, the fact that the coming birth is not the first time for the span suggests that they enjoy the experience of sharing life with their kids. She wants him to take care of them if of all time she dies as much as he took care of her when she was a dwell ask to my little babes, my safe remains./And if thou love thyself, or lovedst me,/These O foster from step-dames injury. We do not hear the husband in the poem but we get the idea that he loves her, too, when she bids him to kiss this paper for thy dear loves sake,/Who with salt tears this last farewell did take. She knows he would take her whole step ending very badly. Question 2 Describe and explain Mrs. Gearsons reaction to her sons death in William Dean Howells story Editha. When Editha meets Mrs.Gearsons for the first time, the mothers tone was reproachful of the young girl he told me he had asked you to come if he got killed. You didnt expect that, I suppose, when you sent him. She knew why her son went to war in spite her bringing him up to think that was (is) a fool affaire as well as a bad thing. Editha has influenced his son so greatly for him to do something that was against the values he grew up with. Mrs. Gearsons has read the garner Editha gave George before he l eft where she told him that she would only marry a man who must love his country, first of all.In mocking, she told Editha I suppose you would exact been glad to die, such a brave person as you Mrs. Gearson looked at war as being not about soldiers fighting for the remark of their country, but of people killing each other and mothers and wives losing sons and husbands. Editha would neither understand her blame in Georges death nor the pain that Mrs. Gearson was feeling. She simply reject Mrs. Gearsons outbursts as the consequence of ill health. In the end, she would continue to live again in the ideal.
