Throughout the recreations of Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I A Woman” speech, the audience was able to capture Truth’s intended message most effectively through the third interpretation. While the texts are merely recreations and alterations of the original versions, we are still able to capture her message of equality with her hopeful and direct tone. The third essay has the strongest language and rhetorical strategy in order to make it the most effective of the three with a more personal touch, and was the most effective in conveying her message with her use of diction, procatalepsis, hypophora and enumeration. Throughout Truth’s speech, she is able to use enumeration in order to specifically clarify and illustrate her points being established.
