Maya Angelou~ " Caged bird"~ XI.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

In this book the author Maya Angelou, has presented two birds. One is caged and the other is free. The caged bird represents the black people, who were not treated well by the society and were not allowed to do things that they wanted to. Also, the free bird represents the white people who had the freedom to go whenever they wanted and to do what they wanted. The two important themes of this book are freedom and slavery. As i mentioned before, freedom is represented by the free bird which can fly wherever it wants enjoying the life. The other theme is slavery which is represented by the caged bird, which it cannot fly, and does not enjoy life. Another theme can be racism, because as we see black people were not treated well and did not have freedom, whereas white people had freedom. I personally like this book mainly because, one important message that is conveyed through the book, is that all people should have freedom and should be independant in order to enjoy life as much as possible.
