This just in...

Sojourner Truth Speech

I've read it and I feel nothing. It sounds like she's talking about civil/women rights and predicting what will happen in the future. She says things that are happening in this time compared to her time. Like the part about helping women into carriages, which resembles the men of today opening the car door for their women. The other part of her not being treated like a women is also true, as some women of today are being treated badly by their boyfriends/husbands. The rest of the speech just sounds like she went off on a tangent and doesn't make any sense. The third and fourth paragraphs make no sense and it makes her sound stupid. Not that she was, but from those two paragraphs it sounds like she is. She doesn't seem to understand what intellect is and how it can help, but that's probably because she hadn't heard about it and that's why she doesn't she know anything about it or maybe she does and I'm the stupid one. I also don't understand the whole thing about Christ coming from God and a woman, it just doesn't make any sense. The last paragraph has some value to it as she's saying that women will take back their freedom they had before the men dominated, which is what happened with the women's rights movement and what not. It's kind of freaky that what she says is coming true.

Until then...
-Freaky!
