Hi. You did not enter the line of the sonnet the question refers to. This makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours, which showed the line "Rough winds from shake the darling buds of May." If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.
This line has five iambs and this can be seen because it has five pairs formed by an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
The iamb is a set of unstressed syllables and stressed syllables. Stressed syllables are the longest syllables and have the strongest sound. If you read the line of the sonnet aloud, you can get a pattern of 10 syllables, in which pairs of an unstressed syllable and a stressed syllable form. Five pairs are formed, so the line has five iambs.
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.

Squirrel in a tree
Quirky as can be
Unaware of me
It sits where I can see
Resting, watch it stir
Rustling, fuzzy fur
Energetic whir
Leaves in a blur.
Uhhhhh what the heck does the first part mean.
