Explanation: In this cartoon, there are slaves, women and a man. The big person in the side that has a crown on his face and holding a bubble with vote and freedom in his hand is the man. At the time of the women's suffrage the man was the king because they were the only one who had the right to vote and speak out. I made the slaves and the women smaller than the man also made the women the same size as the slaves because the slaves and the women didn't get their right to vote. The slaves and the women were treated the same when they were in the level of the rights to vote. Women were on the same level as the slaves and men were kings.

Descriptive Paragraph:Seneca Falls Convention

The Seneca Fall Convention took place in Seneca Falls, New York in July 1848. Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and three other women organized the convention. They wrote a document that lists their beliefs about the women's rights. The document was called the "Declaration of Sentiments". This was the first time in the United States that women had talked in publicly demanded their right to vote. It was really crowded. There were both men and women. There were tons of people. It was very cool outside. Women were wearing dresses. Not the ones that they wear at home but brand new ones. It was all colorful. When Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were talking most of the men were frowning. When the men didn't want to hear what the women were going to say, they started arguing with them. So all the women and men started arguing and the convention became very loud and became a wreck. But in the end 68 women and 32 men signed the Declaration and the women's suffrage had begun. When the Nineteenth Amendment was passed only one woman who had signed the Declaration of Sentiments had lived. Her name was Charlotte Woodward. She had signed the Declaration when she was 19 years old and when the amendment was passed she was in her 90s.

Poem: My life as a WOMAN

On this death bed,
Let me you about the story about my life as a
WOMAN...

"I was born...
They said I looked like a princess
of the Women's Suffrage.
They knew from the start,
that I would help in the Women's Suffrage.

When I was three, I learned how to
Read and Write.
When I went to school,
my teacher refused to teach me
long division because I was a
GIRL.
So my father hired a teacher to teach me at home.

Years passed by...
I became a WOMAN.
I wasn't a GIRL anymore.

I didn't understand why women shouldn't get their right to vote?
I thought we were human too.
What is the difference between men to women?
Is it the way we look?
Is it the way we act?
What is it?

So I brought a group of women, and
voted.
We weren't allowed but we did it anyways,
for our rights.

Of course we got caught and payed bail,
but it was worth it.

I am just so glad that I was part of the
WOMEN'S Suffrage.
I am just so glad I was able to do these things for
WOMEN.
I am just so glad that I am a
WOMAN."

It's time for me to go to you.
I'll help from up in heaven
WOMEN FOREVER.


Reflection: This poem is a narrative poem and has some similes. I thought narrative poems aren't as hard as other poems, so I wrote the poem as a narrative poem. I wrote the poem like I was Susan. B Anthony. This poem was about when Susan B. Anthony dies in 1820, she tells the people about her story when she was living during the time of Women's Suffrage. She tells what happened when she was young, what she did when she grew up in to a women and how she felt being a women and being part of the women's suffrage. I don't think I had a real big problem writing this poem but I had a little hard time on the ending.

___________________________________________________
In 1849, Susan Brownell Anthony gave her first public speech for the Daughters of Temperance. She went up in front of the crowd and she said that women's should get their rights to vote. In 1782, Susan ordered that women have been given the same civil and political rights that had been extended to black males. She led a group of women to Rochester and protested that women should get their rights to vote. But the most famous event that she had was that Susan voted when she didn't have the rights to vote. So she got arrested with her group of women and she had to pay $1000 bail and the other women that followed her had to pay $500 bail.
