Sojourner Truth is the pseudonym of Isabella (Belle) Baumfree. She was born in 1797 and died on November 26, 1883. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, Ulster County, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826.  She was an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist. After going to court to recover her son in 1828, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man.

She gave herself the name Sojourner Truth in 1843 after she became convinced that God had called her to leave the city and go into the countryside "testifying the hope that was in her". Her best-known speech was given extemporaneously, in 1851, at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. The speech became widely known during the Civil War by the title "Ain't I a Woman?," Sojourner Truth was from New York and grew up speaking Dutch as her first language. During the Civil War, Truth helped recruit black troops for the Union Army; after the war, she tried unproductively to secure land grants from the federal government for former slaves.

In 2014, Truth was included in Smithsonian magazine's list of the "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time".

The selection indicates that the author was:

Which statement best describes the subjects of the poems?
tigry1 [53]

The woman in Byron’s poem is gentle; the woman in Poe’s poem is welcoming.

In Byron's poem the speaker uses the words and phrases "mellowed", "serenely sweet", "soft", and "calm" to show the gentleness of the woman. He also at the end says she has "A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!". These all show her gentleness. There is no mention of wealth, youth, or adventure.

In Poe's poem the speaker talks about returning home to Helen and being welcomed by her. He says, "Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home." He talks about how her traits draw him home. He also goes on to describe the image of her holding a light as to light the way and welcome him home.

What are the two main disadvantages of the means of transport used today? ​
aliina [53]

Answer: Polluting the air. And gas leaks in cars.

Explanation: The gas that comes out of cars had deadly chemicals that are not good for the environment. To me gas leak's are the worst because it just settles into the ground until what do you know the whole surrounding area is on fire.
