Write a 1 page paper (double-spaced) comparing ANY ONE of the Phillis Wheatley poems from this selection here (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/phillis-wheatley), with any part of the text (indicate the page number) of “The History of Mary Prince” (The pdf has been attached) that you want to compare. Talk about how they are the same experience; how the writer and the poet share the same ideas; and how the poem and the text seem to have some connection. You may write it in any way that you wish, but you must quote from the poem, and from the text in Mary Prince that you are comparing.
This link also includes information about Phillis Wheatley’s life, so if you want to talk about similarities in hers and Mary Prince’s experience, you can also do that. But do read the background information on Phillis Wheatley before you choose one of the poems to compare with Mary Prince’s diary.
