    @@youraccamavusa740 Hey there! Angelou uses a mixture of similes, metaphors, rhyme, repetition, assonance and other figures of speech to create memorable images within the mind of the reader. Angelou presents us with contrasting images of a caged bird and a free bird which are symbolic for someone who is oppressed and someone who experiences freedom. The poem paints a picture of a carefree bird in a beautiful landscape (someone who is free) which is contrasted by a caged bird who suffers and cries out for freedom (someone who is oppressed). I hope this makes sense!

    So I just had an assessment the other day and this poem came up in one of our assessments where it was an “unseen poem” meaning it’s our first time seeing this. I’m just wandering how am I supposed to know without knowing what Angelou’s background was that this poem is about black inequalities…. Is there anywhere that gives it away because I ended up writing about some war and that despite your trapped in your country singing will escape and your voice will have freedom…..

  • @CaitlinJessica

    @CaitlinJessica

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi Nilam! I'm so sorry for the late reply. At the beginning of the third stanza, Angelou writes that "The caged bird sings / with a fearful trill." These lines are repeated again at the beginning of the sixth stanza. The effect of this refrain is to emphasize through repetition the fear of the caged bird, but also its hope. Indeed, although the bird's singing is "fearful," Angelou wants to emphasize the fact that the caged bird keeps on singing (does not lose hope). This alludes back to the point made above. Angelou believes that one's nature can not be completely destroyed, even by a something (symbolic for the cage) or someone who suppresses it.

    the lines you say are personifications are wrong, you'll see the personifications in lines24 "sighing trees" and lines 28 "his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream". if you need reference, there is a literature book that gives analysis to various literature texts. It's called 'exam focus'
