According to Truth, what is the “fix” that white men are in? What details does Truth use to support that idea?

The “fix” is that both African Americans and women are starting to fight for their rights, which will change the role that white men have had.

Only African Americns are fighting for rights which changes the role for women.

Only White people are fighting for the rights of African American

Only Soujourner is attemempting to fight for eqaul rights for women.

Complete this cause-and-effect.

I cried out with my mother’s grief.

I could work as much and eat as much as a man.

The phrase "ain't I a woman" is repeated several times in paragraph two of her speech. Why does she repeat this phrase? What effect does it have on the reader?

She repeats the phrase to make a point; she does not get the same treatment as white women, yet she can do as much (if not more) as a man. It shows she does not need any special treatment because she is a woman.

The phrase is repeated because people do not believe she is a woman due to the fact that she acts like a man. People believe her because she is so insistent.

She was clearly upset that women did not have the same rights as men. It shows that she was unstable and could not speak well.

What is most closely implied by the phrase “the white men will be in a fix pretty soon” in the following passage (paragraph 1)?

White males are in jeopardy of losing their power if women and blacks obtain the rights they have begun asking for.

The Emancipation Proclamation is sure to have an impact on the financial status of white males.

Violence is needed in order to take down those who are currently running the country.

White males will have their problems solved if they listen to Truth’s suggestions.
