This book shows the human’s reality,how the world is made
with “ingredients” such as:prejudice,abandonment,rape which are also the main
themes of our story.All people have to deal with different kinds of
difficulties,but the problem is not how dangerous can be these difficulties,but
the most important is that if you have triumphed at the end.This is exactly the
case of our main character,Maya’s life which goes through many difficulties and
triumphs in the end.She faces many problems during her life and are exactly
these difficulties as I mentioned before that helped her to change her attitude
towards herself.According to the title which reveals a lot about Maya :Why the
caged bird sings –reveals about maya’s circumstances.The bird which represents
freedom maya’s desire to be free because she was like a baggage that was
transported from one place to another and nobody asked her,everyone decided for
her and of course the caged that symbolizes confinement,her life.As a bird sing
to be free,also Maya needed to rise her voice to find a solution for her
problems. It is true that she was just a child and her family should decide for
her but it doesn’t mean that these decisions taken from the adults are the best
one.so By the end her life change completely.she goes from a little black girl
and want to be transformed to a “white”one because there is no other chance to
be accepted by the society to a mature adult that is proud of her race and the
most important for herself.Maya goes from a shy girl “imprisioned”to a woman
with self-confidence.Despite these hardships she was able to
be a happy woman,not forgetting her child that can be the strength she needed
to overcome the obstacles of life.
