In a vivid story that recollects the details of these events, Rowlandson attempts to impart a message to her community through the use of three existing literary devices. The genre of the `captivity narrative` that evolved is a distinct literary mode developed as a confluence of these: spiritual autobiography, a documentary method meant to archive spiritual and emotional growth through a record of daily activities the conversion narrative, which made public one`s theological assurance of God`s grace and the jeremiad, a sermon form designed to remind Puritans of their Covenant with God. To her contemporaries, Rowlandson served as an example of God`s Providence. To later generations and specifically twenty-first century scholars, she represents the voice of a new genre of storytelling.
