Answer:

The caged bird's song.

Explanation:

Maya Angelou's poem "Caged Bird" tells the metaphorical position of the black people as birds kept in a cage, devoid of any freedom. The poem became a huge success, with its referencing to the freedom and rights of the slaves/colored people as compared to those of the whites.

Though there is no specific rhyme scheme in the poem, there are still some instances of the poem having end rhymes with vowel sounds and some cases of assonance. The use of rhyme in the poem is the attempts of the poet  to lay emphasis on the song sung by the "caged bird". The caged bird, as a representation of the blacks, sings a song of imprisonment, devoid of liberty and freedom and made to suffer unlike the 'free bird'.

The repetition of the third stanza in the last stanza brings back the focus of the poem, giving it greater importance. Also, there are a lot of rhyming in these lines of the third and last stanzas.

with a fearful <u>trill</u>    

of things unknown    

but longed for <u>still  </u>  

and his tune is <em>heard    </em>

on the distant <u>hill</u>    

for the caged <em>bird </em>

Thus, the correct answer is that the poet uses rhyme to emphasize the caged bird's song.

Read the passage from The Odyssey - Elpenor.
adell [148]

For Odysseus and his men, the loss of Helios, the sun, symbolizes a loss of C. Hope.

In poetry, light ( such as the sun, the moon, candles, stars) often symbolizes good, hope, and freedom.

In the lines <em>"Never the flaming  eye of Helios lights on those men  at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars, nor in descending earthward out of heaven"  </em>the reflected idea is that they do not see the sunrise or sunset anymore, thus they are eventually condemned to a total loss of light, that is to say, hope.
