Question

Draw out the conflict in the poem I know why the caged bird sings

Answer 1

Answer:

Conflict is the battle that a character in a story must face that drives the plot. In Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, the major conflicts are: man versus self, man versus society, and man versus man. Man versus self is a battle a major character faces within their own personality. Man versus society is a struggle against the norms of the community. Man versus man is a conflict between two people. Let's examine some of the conflicts from Maya Angelou's childhood as described in her autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
