Answer:

In the poem, Maya Angelou compares a caged bird to a free bird. The caged bird represents the African American who is restricted by society, and society is represented by the cage. The sky, which is wide-open, yet distant to the caged bird, symbolizes freedom, as the free bird “names the sky his own.” The free bird could represent white Americans. The free bird’s life is carefree and unfettered, and its voice is beautiful and free. The caged bird, on the other hand, is trapped in a cage and “stands on the grave of dreams.” Its voice is fearful and unnatural. The singing of both birds represents self-expression and how discrimination and inequality can hinder and distort the views, ambitions, and expression of those who are persecuted.

Compare the excerpt from Don Quixote to this image. I HAVE ATTACHED THE PASSAGE AND IMAGE ON THE DOCUMENT.
Zigmanuir [339]

  The true statements about the windmill scene in the excerpt of Dom Quixote related to the image are:

   B: It icludes opposing viewpoints.

   Dom Quixote seems to make himself a fool, and his friend Sancho thinks he is really mad, but when he explains his points of view, that to him, the windmills are giants, he shows that everything depends on the way a person looks at anything, and that things changes all the time.

   E: It is a metaphor for something else.

   The metaphor is related to these opposing viewpoints. The battle against the windmills looks unuseful, and it seems to be a waste of time, but Dom Quixote shows that even though a battle is alreadly lost, anyone has the rights to fight for their beliefs.

   F: It reveals a multidimensional character.

   At the same time that Dom Quixote seems to be a lunatic, he has some insights that reveal his social criticism. Between his madness, vanity  and  sometimes humility, Dom quixote has his own vision of an ideal life.
