Excerpt from Ain't I A Woman? Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) 2 That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages
, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman? Which device or technique does the author employ in paragraph 2 with her repetition of the phrase "Ain't I a woman?" A) alliteration B) onomatopoeia C) personification D) rhetorical question
