I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is probably Maya Angelous most popular and critically acclaimed volume. ... She wrote I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings at a time when autobiographies of women, and particularly black women, had begun to proclaim womens significance in the mainstream as thinkers and activists. ...
I wouldn’t like to be Maya’s friend on many reasons. ... I didn’t understand why she didn’t stand up in the court room after Mr. ... I believe that if you have the opportunity to elicit the truth you have to grab it. I can’t make friends with people who are hiding the truth from others, acting like cowards. ...
If I had lived the life of Maya, I wouldn’t be in many key spots that made this story intriguing. I wouldn’t want to see the parents that abandoned me and my brother for literal death. ... I would rather be out playing with my friends than reading or doing chores because that’s the kind of person I would be. I know I would probably be beaten down in those days but I would fight back today.
What I like about the book was its uniqueness. I never saw a book about a little girl who struggled to fight back the hardship of racism and segregation in her time. I liked how Mrs. ...
I couldn’t help but not like scenes of nasty actions. I didn’t like the idea of an 8 year old girl being raped and I hated to see Bailey’s adventures in the teahouse. ...
I would recommend this novel to an avid reader who can understand the plot fairly easily and can see the lesson behind the story. Many of my classmates are girls and I’d make the generalization that the girls would like to read something of this caliber. ... I would also say this novel is good for lots of my classmates because they like stories of struggle.
