Poetry foundation caged bird poem analysis

English
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

               The poem describes the opposing experiences between two birds: one bird is able to live in nature as it pleases, while a different caged bird suffers in captivity. Due to its profound suffering, the caged bird sings, both to cope with its circumstances and to express its own longing for freedom. The free bird can fly, walk, and see the outside world.

              The caged bird can't do all these. He can only sing.  The free bird seems too busy to sing, as he has more pleasures to enjoy. He takes his freedom for granted. He doesn’t know what being caged means. Yet, his ignorance of oppression and slavery is his strength.   Perhaps, through the song of freedom, the person who caged the bird will tire of his constant songs and set him free. Thus, his voice is his weapon.

               Unlike the free bird who “leaps on the back of the wind,” “floats” and “dips” and “claims the sky,” the cage restricts the abilities of the caged bird.  Nonetheless, he keeps his freedom of expression and uses it. The bird expresses himself through singing.

               He is still alive and despite being a prisoner, he can still use his voice. His throat is free. He sings so loudly that his voice reaches the "distant hill."  Even though he is in a cage, there’s no lock or cage that can restrict his voice and freedom of mind.

You can use a few paragraphs from this if u want less paragraphs or u can use it all. :) hope it helps
