Read this excerpt from “Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth. In which sentences does she make an emotional appeal to the audien

ce by talking about her personal hardships?
Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about?

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?

Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?

The second paragraph mostly contains the personal hardships the speaker has in her life as a Negro woman. Specifically, the sentences wherein she talks about no one helping her into carriages, ploughed and gathered in the farm, eat and work as much as a man, and being sold off to slavery best describe the emotional appeal she wanted to convey.

Answer:

Scout's reference to the mockingbird suggests she

-understand the unfairness of the legal system.

-has developed deeper empathy.

-has come to understand that what is legal isn't necessarily what is right.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's most famous novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" revolves around the lives of the Finches in Maycomb, ALabama. The racist attitude that still seems to persist among the people became one of the main themes of the story.

The character of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch is the little daughter of the lawyer Atticus Finch. She also is the main voice from which the whole narrative of the story is told. Scout referenced the "mockingbird" in chapter 10 when she asked Miss Maudie why they shouldn't shoot mockingbirds. She then told them that mockingbirds do nothing except make music for the enjoyment of the humans. It can be a representation of innocence in itself and so, to kill a mockingbird is to kill innocence.

Then again, Scout used another reference of the mockingbird in chapter 30 for Boo Radley when he was accused of killing Mr. Ewell. When Atticus wanted to claim that Jem did it in self-defense, Heck's opinion was that Mr. Ewell killed himself. This was supported by Scout, who states that letting Boo or Jem be convicted will be like killing a mockingbird.

Thus, Scout's reference to the mockingbird suggests she

understand the unfairness of the legal system.

has developed deeper empathy.

has come to understand that what is legal isn't necessarily what is right.

Read the paragraph. Which statement best explains
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

"Odor implies a bad scent, while fragrance implies a pleasant scent."

The nuance, or subtle difference between fragrance and odor, is that odor usually has a negative connotation, and fragrance usually has a positive connotation. On perfume, it doesn't say 'odor,' it says 'fragrance.' Deodorant is made to get rid of 'odor,' not 'fragrance.' It's in the name.

I hope this helps
