1. The beginning of Sor Juana's letter is quite important (pp. 39 - 49) - like we saw with the introduction to Christine de Pizan's "City of Ladies," Sor Juana wants to orient the reader to her main objectives while at the same time must walk a fine line between humility and superiority. What do you think she wants the reader to take away from this letter? What rhetorical devices does she use in order to achieve her goals?
2. As you read, what are two quotations that particularly jump out at you? Why? Do an analysis of these quotations - why does Sor Juana say these things? Please include both quotations with a page number in your blog posting.
