The metaphor “caged bird” reoccurs throughout the poem “Caged Bird” written by N Maya Angelou. It symbolizes the theme of the poem about the African American people who were oppressed by the Whites in their own land. The cage represents the land which belongs to the native Americans but because of the Whites’ dominance over it, the natives had lost control over it. Though in captivity, the caged bird sings the songs of freedom hoping that some of the other day it will also fly freely in the air.

Who is the speaker in this poem? "Robin Hood and the Scotchman.”
MAVERICK [17]
I believe that the speaker in the ballad of Robin Hood and the Scotsman is someone who knows the story. 
<span>If you read the ballad, it can be concluded that Robin Hood is on his own. Friar Tuck was not with him. This ballad is also written in the past tense so Robin Hood could not have been the narrator. One can infer that the story was of the fight was either told to the narrator of this ballad by Robin Hood himself or the Scotsman. </span>

What did Frederick Douglass write to prove to his critics that he had indeed been a slave? Why did his critics doubt he had been
Charra [1.4K]

Frederick Douglass wrote autobiography “Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, an American slave”. The critics doubted that he was a slave because he was able to read and write and he was also smart and intelligent

Explanation:

Fredrick was a slave who escaped and became a well renowned author activist and a speaker.  He had written a dozen of books delivered a lot of noteworthy speeches though he had received a very little formal education. He was also the lawyer for the women’s right and he fought for the right of women to vote.

He was a prominent leader of the abolitionist party and he dedicated most of his life for the upliftment of people from slavery. He was talented and intelligent so the critics refuse to accept that he was from the slave society
