Sojourner Truth Comparision

In the 50 essays book “Aren’t I a Woman” is so different from the article that was printed out titled “Ain’t I a Woman.” The differences go beyond the spelling and language used. In “Ain’t I a Woman,” Sojourner’s character is revealed. She speaks with such dialect and oomph that grabs the audience’s attention. This is relayed back to the reader through the words itself. The tone can easily be detected by the dialect and the words she use. She speaks to the audience with such boldness that you would not have expected out of a colored woman. In “Aren’t I a Woman,” her character is massed by the correction of the spelling of the words. In correctly spelling the words by today’s standard, you do not see the brazen way of her words as much in what she was saying and considering the time period in which she said the words that she did. By layering her speech with today’s spelling standard, it takes away the heart of the message and the character. It also takes away the realization of the time period and how daring of her it was for her to speak in public, let alone say what she did and direct her points to some of the people as she did such as the deacon.
