Read the passage from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.”
<em>Mrs. Bertha Flowers was the aristocrat of Black Stamps. She had the grace of control to appear warm in the coldest weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her.

She was our side's answer to the richest white woman in town.</em>

In the opening sentence of the story the author states that "you were always a gambler" and you, "took chances." This shows that the main character is willing and able to take any and all risks necessary in order to escape slavery. This sets the tone for the type of person that the main character strives to be. The text foreshadows more to describe the main character being on a wooden ship.
