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.

Answer:
I haven’t heard that at all ♀️
Explanation:
Those with disabilities whether physical (like missing a limb, or being blind) or intellectual (like Down syndrome and autism) face challenges that those without the disability do not. Finding a job they can actually do may be an issue, or finding a well paying job may be difficult. Those who have gone to jail/prison may face issues being hired because of their past. Employers may be hesitant to hire someone who has been convicted of breaking the law, and may find it hard to trust them if hired, leading to possible difficulty being promoted into higher positions. Illegal immigrants may have challenges when it comes to paperwork with jobs, as many jobs request to see your SS card and record this information. Immigrants may also be discriminated against. If doing under the table work, they may be exploited and paid far less because their employer knows of their situation. To overcome these barriers, employers must be more open to non conventional workers and insure all employees are being treated equally, which is granted with the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Some employers have taken steps such as working with the govt. to hire those with intellectual disabilities. The same also goes for those divorced of crimes that are deemed to have been rehabilitated and are making their way back into society.
The best example of a thesis statement is the following: "Funding for breast cancer should remain higher than the funding of other cancers because much of the funding is privately raised, the resulting research has proven beneficial for advancing the treatment of other cancers, and public support will demand the maintenance of current funding" (C).
A good thesis statement should be one sentence containing clearly:
- the <u>main idea of the essay or paper</u>;
- the <u>conclusion</u> you will be reaching as an answer to this question;
- and, potentially, a summary of the <u>thread of ideas you will be developing</u> to come to this conclusion.
In statement C, the thesis is expressed directly and the author explains why this argument is important: current levels of research about breast cancer funding should at least be maintained, and prioritized over other forms of cancer, because this specific research helps us learn more about other cancers and how to treat them.
The author also adds an element which will appear in the development of ideas (the main body of the paper): the fact that the public opinion supports current breast cancer research funding levels.
