She gave the speech in response to a man's statement about the weakness and inferiority of women. This happened at a convention on the rights of women in Ohio, in 1851. She was convinced that she deserved the same rights as white men or women and was determined to be heard.

At the beginning of the speech she uses a relaxed, direct tone generating  empathy and warming up the audience: <em>out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the blacks 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? (1-3) </em>

While the speech continues, the tone changes and becomes vigorous and empowering. She gives credibility (Ethos) to the speech by talking about her personal experiences as a slave:<em> "work as much and eat as much as a man ... and bear the lash as well!" </em>

She uses sevaral devices such as pathos. For example when she shares hes experiences of his motherhood and her feelings in relation to it: <em>I have borne thirteen children and seen all sold off to slavery and when I cried out with my mother grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman? </em>

To achieve certain communicative outcomes, tone and formality are fundamental in the development of discourse. Everything is based on the intentionality of what is going to be transmitted. Sojourner Truth talked to the audience and shared their point of view, invited them to stand next to her.

Answer:

Grant political asylum

This is in response to the news titled “Rizal yet to get travel documents” dated March 17. It is unfortunate that Tek Nath Rizal, known as the father of the Bhutanese democracy movement, could not go to Geneva to attend the UN Commission for Human Rights meeting as the Nepal government could not provide him with necessary travel documents. He and two other Bhutanese human rights activists were invited by Lutheran World Federation. Nepal has not granted him political asylum till date for which he had applied in October last year. It sounds mysterious why Nepal deliberately fails to do so if it sincerely wants to solve the long protracted crisis. Granting Rizal the refugee status and travel document would not add any extra burden for Nepal, rather it would unleash Nepal from the burden of raising their concerns in the international arena. Who else could present the concerns and problems of the refugees better than Rizal?

I believe it is that true love changes with the changing seasons because throughout the poem, the author discusses how her emotions change towards the situation. At 14 she was shy and possibly ashamed of their love but learned to accept what they had and enjoyed it until he went away. While he was gone, she missed his presence and continued to wait for his return. The poem is basically a story of their changing love and how it affected her.
