Answer 1

Explanation:

1.Thus, the caged bird's fear is about the uncertainty of achieving freedom in the future. Its fears reflect those of the blacks who no more wish to go through the pains of racism, discrimination and bestial treatment at the hands of the white.

2.The poet offered a crumb very cautiously (lest he should fly away) to the bird. Yet, the bird unrolled its feathers and softly rowed itself home. The word 'rowed' is remarkable to describe the bird's flight. ... She compares the wings to the oars which row the beautiful bird homewards.
