Clara chose this excerpt to help support her interpretation of “The Caged Bird” because it has an extended metaphor that examines sufferings.
The poem “Caged Bird” has been written by N Maya Angelou in which she speaks about the oppression which Black women had to face. The metaphor “caged bird” reoccurs throughout the poem “Caged Bird” written by N Maya Angelou. It symbolizes the theme of the poem about the African American people who were oppressed by the Whites in their own land. The cage represents the land which belongs to the native Americans but because of the Whites’ dominance over it, the natives had lost control over it. Though in captivity, the caged bird sings the songs of freedom hoping that some of the other day it will also fly freely in the air.
