Response to 'I know why the caged bird sings' poem

" I know why the caged bird sings" by Maya Angelou is about white people who are free aren't afraid of a lot of things and they know there surroundings. Unlike blacks who are slaves do not know much because they are us to being " Caged up". It is speaking of a bird as a comparison between blacks and free whites.

One thing she uses is rhyming ,for example "Cage, Rage", "Trill, shrill" . Another element she uses is metaphor "the caged bird sings with a fearful trill". It is pretty much all a metaphor about free slaves and whits vs. slaves .

I like this poem because it has a lot of rhyme and also it goes and fits together very well . Also it isn't very obvious what it is and what the poem means so you have to look deeper into the words to find it. Also that I think its cool how it represents the different types or "Classes" of slaver.
