Answer 1

Maya Angelou has used the caged bird as a symbol for (a)  the oppressed

• The bird is analogous to the time of Maya Angelou's African American struggle.
• She thought black Americans were singing and dancing, as well as crying out for the rights they deserved, but only heard as a distant voice.  
• Thus, the considered bird represented both bias and the oppressed
