  As seen in many poems or poetic texts, there is in "Caged Bird" the use of figurative language, with connotative meaning so that there is a subjective message under the text that must be analyzed under its' context.

The figurative language is a writers' resource for expressing feelings and <u>amplifying the meaning of words</u>.  

Let's read an excerpt of Maya Angelou's "Caged Bird" :

<em>"The free bird thinks of another breeze </em>

<em>and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees </em>

<em>and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn </em>

<em>and he names the sky his own </em>

<em> </em>

<em>But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams    </em>

<em>his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream    </em>

<em>his wings are clipped and his feet are tied    </em>

<em>so he opens his throat to sing. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>The caged bird sings    </em>

<em>with a fearful trill    </em>

<em>of things unknown    </em>

<em>but longed for still    </em>

<em>and his tune is heard    </em>

<em>on the distant hill    </em>

<em>for the caged bird    </em>

<em>sings of freedom" </em>

With comparing the two birds, we can see how the birds can be a representative symbol of people under different types of life situations, being the caged one a symbol of someone restricted of freedom, wanting their voices to be heard (or needing their rights to be granted, as well).
