The words "cup," "pint," and "quart" refer to opportunities and resources. Robinson presents this idea more objectively, removing subjectivity from language.

<h3>Who was Sojourner Truth?</h3>
  • She was a former slave.
  • She was an activist for the rights of black people and black women.

When Sojourner Truth spoke the words "cup," "pint," and "quart" she was making an analogy about the resources and opportunities available to individuals.

She claimed that resources and opportunities for blacks were very few, especially for black women. These few opportunities and resources were depleted by those who had the most social facilities, that is, had larger cups, pints, and quarts.

Robinson reformulated this discourse more objectively, using words that showed the disadvantages of black women in a more direct and denotative way.

Which theme in a speech should come last?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: A summary could be followed by a Conclusion, at least it seems reasonable if you get up and have something to say, something of enough importance to convey, you certainly can summarize what you tried to get across, and lastly provide a conclusion to make the Speech and your point of giving it, (at last complete), with a Conclusion.

This is simply my opinion, and I am not referencing any “rule book”, just what I find to be reasonable.

A final Conclusion would by this time,

allow the listener to evaluate all the speaker had said and why. It would have a greater purpose beyond a mere exercise.

This is, again, simply my view on the question and a proposed answer.
