Write a 250-word essay in which you describe the speaker’s use of tone in “ain’t i a woman? ”

The song "Ain't I a Woman" or the passage?

         Sojourner Truth, in her poem titled "Ain't I a Woman?" wrote the piece in response to the statement of a man regarding the inferiority and weakness of women. This man's statement was made at a convention in Ohio in 1851, focused on the debate of women's rights. Truth held a very strong belief that women and African-Americans should be given the same rights as men in equal measure. She was adamant in this belief and was dead set on her voice being heard.

         At the very beginning of Sojourner's poem, "Ain't I a Woman?" she makes intentional use of a direct and relaxed tone in order to draw the audience in and warm them up for what's to come later in the poem. As expected, the tone throughout the poem makes a great shift and forthwith becomes empowering and strong. Sojourner Truth also effectively makes use of the rhetorical technique, Ethos, in order to give her speech credibility and further convince her listeners. She uses ethos by telling of her own experiences and life as a slave, but she also uses pathos, the rhetorical technique that is made to appeal to the audience's emotions. One of the examples of when pathos is used during Truth's speech is when Truth shares similar experiences with the mother of the man whom she is responding to during the convention: "I have borne thirteen children and seen all sold off to slavery and when I cried out with my mother grief, none but Jesus heard me!"
