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.

What is an example of a romance language?
Hatshy [7]

Answer: <u>The Romance languages (nowadays rarely Romanic languages, Latin languages, Neo-Latin languages) are the modern languages that evolved from Vulgar Latin between the third and eighth centuries. They are a subgroup of the Italic languages in the Indo-European language family. </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Today, around 800 million people are native speakers worldwide, mainly in Europe, Africa, and the Americas, but also elsewhere. Additionally, the major Romance languages have many non-native speakers and are in widespread use as lingua francas. This is especially the case for French, which is in widespread use throughout Central and West Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, and the Maghreb.</u>
