Once, a very long time ago, a man named Amak awoke in the morning and was very hungry—he wanted some dinner. Before the sun rose

over the mountains, he left his family and promised to bring food home to them. Amak, whose stomach growled, knew his family was famished—and so was he. As he trudged along, Amak realized he had been walking for a long time. He wanted to find food quickly and take it home to his family.
2Amak walked through the forest to find food. He looked into the trees to find birds and scoured bushes hoping to find a rabbit. He became frustrated when he found nothing. Amak knew he had to keep searching, though, because his family was counting on him.

3Hoping that he would have better luck there, Amak decided to walk down beside the ocean. The smell of the salty air made the man feel a little better. He had almost forgotten about his grumbling stomach. Suddenly, Amak espied a large group of seals lying beside the ocean. The man was gleeful at the sight of mammoth, brown seals—surely he could take one of these large animals home for dinner! Amak knew he would make his family proud.

4Standing far away from the seals, Amak pondered how to catch one of the seals and lug it home as a prize to his family. The man became giddy at the thought. Then, he crept toward the large creatures; however, as he inched forward, the animals dove into the depths of the water and wiggled away from his grasp.

5Amak became exasperated as he watched the seals swim away into the dark water. However, Amak’s spirits rose when he saw a lone seal sitting alone near the edge of the water. Sure that the seal did not see him, he advanced stealthily and stayed as quiet as possible. At the last moment, and with a burst of energy, Amak sprang toward the remaining seal; however, he was too late, as the animal jumped into the water to join the rest. He collapsed onto the ground in sorrow. As Amak got up, he felt a feeling he did not recognize. Water started running down the sides of Amak’s face. He touched the warm water and tasted it. It was as salty as the ocean flowing in front of him. Amak felt himself making strange noises and choking as the water flowed from his eyes.

6Amak's wife and son heard the strange noises and came to find him. When they finally caught sight of him, he still had water pouring from his eyes. His wife and child were very afraid because they did not understand. After Amak told the story of the seals and how they eluded his grasp, water began to flow from his wife’s and son’s eyes, too. Amak and his family wept because of the seals. That is how people learned to cry.

Eliminate B) The forest and ocean setting suggests a conflict between Amak and nature. C) The ocean forest setting suggests a struggle between Amak and his family.

explain how Maya Angelou uses the symbol of the cage throughout the poem to develop a theme. "one to two paragraphs 90 points!
kirill [66]

The symbol of the cage is used throughout the famous poem "Caged Bird" by Maya Angelou to develop the themes of oppression and lack of freedom.

When a bird is free he flies at his leisure and he feels empowered and brave to even "claim the sky" and name it "his own," and he has dreams, attainable dreams, "of fat worms" and "another breeze." But when a bird is constrained to a cage, when his dreams and his hopes, his wings and his feet, have been literally and metaphorically cut short, when his freedom has been taken from him, he sings of freedom, but also of uncertainty, but his is a trill full of fear. A caged bird is so frightened that even his shadow "shouts on a nightmare scream."  

Throughout her work, Maya Angelou resorted to the symbol of the caged bird as an allegory of the African American that had been forcibly chained, oppressed, and slaved.
