Summarize the meaning and purpose of "As Weary Pilgrim, Now at Rest." Describe the view that Anne Bradstreet takes in the poem.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: As you look at the first half of the poem, Anne narrates what she "sees." It is a Christian person who dies and finds rest in heaven at the end of his/her life.

In the second half of the poem, Anne expresses her desire to be just like that Pilgrim, that she herself would find that rest at the end of her life. She is not saying that she wanted to die now, but simply basks in her eternal resting place that she looks forward to when all the hardships of this world are done. 
Answer 2
Answer:

In "As Weary Pilgrim, Now at Rest," the speaker wishes another pilgrim farewell as death has taken him. She’s relieved that he no longer has to suffer and can rest peacefully. She too wishes to one day be free from these woes and ailments that age has brought upon her and then be with her deceased loved one. The poet views death as a calming and soothing event as seen in lines such as "This body shall in silence sleep" and "Oh, how I long to be at rest." The poet also seems to long for the afterlife, as corroborated by lines such as "And soar on high among the blest" and "Then soul and body shall unite/And of their Maker have the sight."

"Marriage is a Private Affair" is a short story that was written by author Chinua Achebe and it was published in 1952. In essence, this story narrates the life of three characters: Nnaemeka, Okeke and Nene. Okeke, is Nnaemeka´s father, a member of the Igbo tribe and fierce Christian who upholds all of the Igbo traditions with zeal. Nnaemeka is Okeke´s son and he causes a big rift with his father after he decides to marry a woman who is not of Okeke´s choosing, and who does not uphold the Christian beliefs because she is a teacher. And finally, we have Nene, a woman who lives in Lagos and who becomes Nnaemeka´s wife and the reason for the break-up between father and son. In the end, and after Nene and Nnaemeka get married and have children, despite Okeke´s refusal to accept his son´s choice, Okeke ends up caving in because Nene writes him a letter telling him about his two grandchildren and how they desire to know him. Okeke, during a serious storm, goes to bed worried, and hardly sleeps, because he might die estranged from his grandchildren and his son. This is why the correct answer is D: The pleas that Nene sends on her children´s behalf.

"the fact that Nene is willing to learn Okeke's language" is the best option in terms of the event breaks down the prejudice against Nene that Okeke has maintained for years.
