Excerpt from Aln't I a Women?
by Sojourner Truth (from the Anti-Slavery Bugle)
Sojourner Truth was born into slavery in the United States and gained her freedom as an adult. She gave this speech in 1851 at a women's right's
convention
I want to say a few words about this matter of women's rights). I am a woman's rights [reformer). I have as much muscle as any man, and can do as
much work as any man. I have as much muscle as any man, and can do as much work as any man. I have plowed and reaped and husked and
chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that? I have heard much about the sexes being equal; I can carry as much as any man, and can
eat as much too, if I can get it. I am strong as any man that is now.
As for intellect, all I can say is, if woman have a pint and man a quart-why can't she have her little pint full? You need not be afraid to give us our
rights for fear we will take too much--for we won't take more than our pint'll hold.
The poor men seem to be all in confusion and don't know what to do. Why children, if you have woman's rights give it to her and you will feel better.
You will have your own rights, and they won't be so much trouble.
I can't read, but I can hear. I have heard the Bible and have learned that Eve caused man to sin. Well if woman upset the world, do give her a chance

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
