The caged bird in Maya Angelou's poem sings to express itself.

Maya Angelou’s poem “Caged Bird” is a symbol of African Americans who are "caged" in their own land by the whites. The symbol of the cage in the poem depicts the restriction of the society. Meanwhile, the caged birds sing the song of liberty and are compared with free birds. So that, the principal theme of “Caged Bird” is freedom.

Angelou's poem employs the metaphor in order to convey the idea that freedom is a natural state and knowledge of this fact cannot be undone by any amount of oppression or imprisonment.

Use the passage to answer the question. "There is danger that because of a great victory women will believe their whole struggle

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Use the passage to answer the question.

"There is danger that because of a great victory women will believe their whole struggle for independence ended. They have still far to go. It is for the Woman's Party to decide whether there is any way in which it can serve in the struggle which lies ahead to remove the remaining forms of woman's subordination."

—Alice Paul, The Suffragist, 1921

Infer which “great victory” the author references in the excerpt.

A.  election of the first female governor

B.  success of the first women’s labor strike

C.  passage of the Equal Rights Amendment

D.  passage of the 19th Amendment

Answer:

The "great victory" is a reference to the D. passage of the 19th Amendment.

Explanation:

As we know, the Suffrage movement fought for women to have the right to vote. The passage of the 19th Amendment would finally guarantee that right, for it prohibited the federal government and the states from denying the right to vote based on gender. Still, in the passage we are analyzing here, Alice Paul asks women not to forget that, even though the passage of the Amendment is a "great victory", their struggle is not over. Women should not rest and settle after this victory, but keep on fighting to "remove the remaining forms of women's subordination."
