Sojourner Truth
9/28/09
Sojourner Truth was a very wise woman. She was outspoken and very intelligent. Her writings flowed right and used all the right diction. In the writing “Aren’t I a Woman?” she was bold and used great intellect. She was a black woman and most people didn’t expect her to use well spoken english. Like Frances Gage for instance, she twisted the way Sojourner Truth wrote thirty years later and made it sound like a “black way of talking” in those days. Gage made her look as if she was intelligent enough to use the correct words or grammar in her writing. The writing spoke of Truth not being treated equally and she is tired of going unacknowledged.

Your essays are way way too short. Your idea is fantastic but you absolutely need supporting evidence, details, and why this idea is important. You are also missing a significant amount of work. You must complete it by 10/13 or your grade will drop.
