week journal entry

The imagery of equal rights for equal labor occurs as Sojourner Truth insisted that she has endured as much work as a man has. Sojourner Truth powerfully confronts the issue of intellectual capacity where men are perceived to be intellectually superior to women. She uses an example of the difference between a pint container and a quarter container to question why women can not be allowed to use their full capability in matters of intelligence—the impression created while reading to speech, however, changes as I listen to it. The tonal variations and facial expressions observed from the video version paints a more vivid picture of the weight of the message that Sojourner Truth wanted to pass across. Therefore, I would consider the Video version as compared to the written version of the speech. Consequently, it means that I tend to perceive and process information more effectively when it is in a form that incorporates other forms of communication, such as tonal variations, body movements, and facial expressions.
