Abolition and Women’s Rights Movements, Part 2

Question 3 • HVA 26-27 IM English ELA 11 A

Which excerpt from "Ain't I a Woman?" is the best example of logos?

Answer
A
Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman?
B
Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman?
C
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again.
D
I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me!

Explanation

Logos is an appeal to logic or reasoning. Choice C makes a cause-and-effect argument: if one woman was strong enough to turn the world upside down, then women together should be able to set it right again. The other excerpts mainly appeal to personal experience, emotion, or the speaker’s physical strength.
