Week 1: Discussion Question

"Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.'s poems tone contrasts to Bradstreet's poem- in regards to the authors opinion of gender roles and the role of women. Why do you think that is? Even though they share common factors in their lives like writing during an era when women were not regarded with respect or even justacknowledgment of their abilities their writing styles differ immensely- despite their religious beliefs. Do you think this comes from their geographic locations ( Mexico vs Puritan America) or something more? If so, explain what stylistic elements of the text or tone of both poems makes you think this."
