Question

Which version of Sojourner Truth's speech do you think is more persuasive?

Answer 1

Answer:

Marius Robinson's transition is more accurate, but Frances Gage's version is more exciting and memorable.

Explanation:

Although both versions try to reproduce the same speech and spread the same message, Frances Gage's version is more exciting and memorable. This is because while Marius Robinson wanted to try to represent the speech in its entirety, using almost the same words as Truth, meanwhile Frances Gage modernized the speech, adapted it to be more consistent with the current language and modified the construction of several sentences, to make a more appealing strong to pathos and thus effectively move the feelings of the public. Although Frances Gage's version is not the most accurate and accurate, Gage's adaptation was very effective in allowing this discourse to be understood and debated today.
