Today was the day ' m going to be used and not be in storage' as I thought to myself wondering why I was never used. It was dark of course but I wasn't the only 45 pound weights. There were others some we're big and small but still leaving. As I hear someone slowly opening the door knob, I can hear the figures talking from the other side of the door saying " Hey Kev want me to get the weights, cause many people have been using them and the other broke." As you were excited about being pick I had remembered 'broke what how' but somehow that didn't really matter in the moment. I could here footsteps approaching me and hearing the sound of a box cutter slowly open. Then hearing the satisfying noise of the box opening. Ever so slightly I could see a light peer through the bubble wrap and styrofoam. I saw it light it wasn't warm but comforting in a way. As the figure picked me up I could hear the noise of people talking, metal clanking against each other. The music and seeing lots of lights was very satisfying. 'Im here am here I made it finally' you could only be happy and nothing more. As the days had gone by I was being used by many figures it was delightful to be finally be useful.
I think this one is suffrage because Sojourner Truth dealt with women's rights.

1) The mood of this excerpt is disheartening. The majority of it lists reasons why African-Americans are at such a disadvantage, and it is sad and causes the reader to feel disappointed in humanity.
2) The author's tone is frustrated and persuasive. King writes this excerpt with the intention of getting the recipients to understand the desperate situation at hand, and in doing so, comes across as highly persuasive. There is also a tone of frustration in his writing, because he (seemingly) has been told to be patient, and there are many reasons why he shouldn't be.
3) Some words that have a negative connotation in this passage are:
- Darts - Darts are usually not seen as a negative thing, but in this passage, are used to represent the pain of segregation.
- Clouds - The word "clouds" often references a normal weather pattern. Here, however, they are negative in context, because they represent the corruption of King's young daughter's mind due to the effects of segregation.
4) One of the few words that has a positive connotation is the word "hope" at the end of the passage. Hope generally has a positive context, and continues to be here, as it represents the chance that those who read this letter will become more understanding, and open their eyes to the evils of segregation.
