Abstract:

The students will trace Taylor's use of "conceit" or "extended metaphor" in his poem "Huswifery" where he compares the process of cloth making to God's salvation of man. They will personalize the use of conceit by writing a poem in which they compare a personal transformation with an inanimate task.
