Caged Bird Week XI

"I Know why the Caged Bird Sings"
In this poem I find two main themes.The first one is given in first stanza which is freedom.It is given through the image of free a free bird that goes everywhere it wants,ranging from enjoyment on stream to soaring  in the wind.The second theme is captivity that cripples the bird in the cage.This theme goes on in the third stanza and tries to state that the caged bird is forced to sing a song of freedoom.
The poem reflects the of racial discrimination in American society against  black people.using the mataphors of caged and free birds,the other has highlighted the nature of captivity and the importance of American ideals of freedom,liberty amd critisism on racial discrimination.The caged bird represents African Americans and their sorrowful plight compared to white Americans.She says that the free  bird has the freedom to move everywhere in tje world,while the caged bird is in captivity,full pain and range.African Americans did not have the freedom to move and enjoy life as white people.
