Woman' Speech"
by Sojourner Truth
Well, children, where there is so much racket there
must be something out of kilter. I think that ‘twixt
the Negroes of the South and the women at the
North, all talking about rights, the white men will be
in a fix pretty soon. But what’s all this here talking
about?

"Declaration of
Sentiments, Seneca
Falls"
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
When, in the course of human events, it becomes
necessary for one portion of the family of man to
assume among the people of the earth a position
different from that which they have hitherto
occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and
of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to
the opinions of mankind requires that they should
declare the causes that impel them to such a
course

Falls Convention, 1848

The rhetorical feature used in "The Declaration of Sentiments" but not in "Ain't I a Woman" is formal language.
While both texts discuss women's rights and social justice, "The Declaration of Sentiments" employs a more formal tone and structured language, whereas "Ain't I a Woman" uses a conversational tone that reflects Sojourner Truth's direct and approachable style.
