E) .................my conclusion is: she has a very good life as a slave and a well cared for life, in addition to her duties and duties as a slave, she learned to read and write from her master, she is just an inquisitive and very intelligent person

D) .................and let her grow, which can be read in her poems, when she was a 'real' slave. was treated and had to work really slavishly every day, no poem will come from her, for sure, because then her master will not have taught her to read and write,

C) .............. probably she could only see the situation through colonist eyes, because from 7 years old she age was already bought as a slave. Her master and the family took care of her with love

A) very noteworthy poem, very much to be praised, when you consider where it came from. As a 7 year old girl as a slave to the USA. Learned writing and reading from her master

I have the same opinion as Adrian Flett said, which I write here: Enlarge the close contracted mind, ' This is a thought that applies still in this modern day where many closed minds still exist. Closed minds, how awful

Phillis Wheatley wrote great Tributes, the most famous is the Tribute to President George Washington and she has read that in public during a great public gathering. I can feel her pride and that of the family of John Wheatley. Thank you so much for sharing this poem!

Phillis Wheatley must be very proud in her heart that the Grand Jury in Boston declared all her poems, after having examined them, as written by her own hands. Such greatest Blessings from God.

I can say here that God cares for her, sans the John Wheatley family, there will be no Phillis Wheatley famous African American Poetess!

But the greatest Blessings in her life was the fact that the master's son Nathaniel Wheatley accompanied her to England to have the ability to publish her poems, since the North-American publishers did not want.
