Answer:

The poem itself is a metaphor from start to finish. The caged bird is representative of those who lack freedom.... everyone experiencing restrictions and oppression. The cage represents exactly what we'd believe, a form of imprisonment. The bird's song symbolizes the cries of freedom, and the combination of the two represents the need for every living thing to reach its full potential, something that cannot be done amid barriers and fear.

Answer:

 This poem is an extended metaphor. Although the speaker doesn't mention any races, it is clear that she is showing how the freedoms allotted whites are diametrically opposed to those given to the blacks. In the first stanza, the speaker illustrates how the free bird, or white race, is untroubled. It also shows how the white race has the audacity to own and govern society unjustly. The speaker concludes'' (the free bird) dares to claim the sky". This shows how whites demonstrated discrimination and prejudice toward blacks. Unfortunately, this deplorable conduct was condoned in society.

How can "The Transplant" in refugees by vetthanh Nguyen be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status, and fina
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer and Explanation:

"The Refugees" can be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status and financial wealth. That's because "The Refugees" tells the story of several families of immigrants who see America as the ideal place to escape their problems related to their home country. This is due to the stereotype created by the Americans themselves that America is the land of prosperity, ignoring the difficulties that a person can go through to prosper.

This stereotype can cause disappointment in foreigners, or even the loss of cultural identity, making them not feel a sense of belonging to something, since they cannot belong to a specific culture. Society can also be affected, as it ends up being composed of individuals who are dissatisfied, but are unable to change.
