In "We Wear the Mask," people suffer because life is painful and people hide their pain from the world. Dunbar writes the "clay is vile" beneath their feet, implying life on earth is hard and difficult. They do not change their situations because they cannot -- it is implied that to live is to suffer. In the poem these people appeal to Christ to save them. 

In "Sympathy," the bird suffers because it is caged. It sees the beauty of the world around it but it cannot participate in it. The bird cannot change its situation because it is literally imprisoned. The caged bird appeals in its pain to Heaven, hoping God will relive its suffering.

It has been said Sojourner Truth was a trailblazer for feminism and women civil rights. How is this reflected in Ain't I a Woman
nikklg [1K]

Answer and Explanation:

In his speech, Sojourner Truth pointed to the exclusion of the cause of black women in emerging feminist movements. She says that feminist movements did not give space to black women, did not let them speak and did not address their problems. In that case she asked "Ain't I a Woman?"

Truth said she was prevented from speaking, by feminists, lest the feminist cause be confused with the black cause. According to her, this episode was very wrong, since white women claimed that feminist movements should seek to break the concept of women's fragility in relation to men, who forbade them to work and have freedoms. However, Truth affirmed that black women were never seen with fragility and never had freedom in the same way, being necessary that they also be included and heard.
