Read the passage from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” I have tried often to search behind the sophistication of years for the

enchantment I so easily found in those gifts. The essence escapes but its aura remains. To be allowed, no, invited, into the private lives of strangers, and to share their joys and fears, was a chance to exchange the Southern bitter wormwood for a cup of mead with Beowulf or a hot cup of tea and milk with Oliver Twist. When I said aloud, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done . . .” tears of love filled my eyes at my selflessness. What is the most likely reason author Maya Angelou included this passage? to entertain the reader with references to books to explain her viewpoint on the wonders of reading to provide actions that show her personality traits to persuade the reader of the benefits of the classics

The answer is: to explain her viewpoint on the wonders of reading.

In the passage from "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," Maya Angelou makes reference to "Beowulf," "Oliver Twist" and Shakespeare and expresses that reading makes her feel as if they invited her to hang out together. She perceives herself welcome into their personal histories to share their joys and fears and a drink or a cup of tea.

The audience may not be convinced.

Explanation:

You need to convince the audience that truly you know what you are talking about and that means neutralising some of your opponent's points. You have to address some of them so it is glaring to all you understand enough to defend your points.

Give three examples of alliteration in “Song of the Open Road.”
Arlecino [84]
Three examples of alliteration are the word "market-man", the expression, "people the impassive" and the explanation of "not afraid to leave you yet I love you" . This alliteration reminds me of a poem I wrote myself of the plague of the bugs in the Canadian north woods, ie it started, "The buzz of bees and other bothersome bugs in the Babine Bush, Coupled with the whine of the worst winged wielders of wanton warfare..." etc.
