I Know WhyThe Caged Bird Sings
"I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" By: Maya AngelouS When I started reading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, I thought that it was a little boring at first but I thought that it was about a young African-American girl who tells her troubles in life as she grows up.S I changed my mind about my thoughts on this book because I started reading it more I began to like it better and I was more into the book.S My favorite part of the book was when Maya started to open up to the world again and began by doing so by talking to Mrs. Bertha Flowers.S I was confused by why Margaret and Bailey were sent back to stamps after the incident, with Marguerite being raped, with Mr. Freeman. Because if their parents loved them and could now afford to support them why couldn't they now stay with them?S I was surprised when Mr. Freeman had began to sexually abuse and rape Maya because I didn't think that he would do such a thing to his girlfriends daughter, and who would have thought that he'd be such a cruel person to do that to a young helpless girl that didn't know right from wrong at the time.S I predict that Maya will finally fully overcome her rape and live a better life.
It was another lynching, yet another Black man hanging from a tree. S I would change the ending to tell what happened later on in life to Maya and her son. It was hounds on the trail of a man running through slimy swamps. S If I could talk to Maya, I would say that I think she's a very brave person, whom I admire, to deal with her rape and also dealing with racism. S Annie Henderson "Momma" reminds me of somebody I know because its reminds me of my grandmother who at a young age, her and her brothers and sisters, were sent to a orphanage after her mother died and her father could not take care of them anymore. S In my opinion, the most important paragraph in this book is " My race groaned. S While I was reading I pictured a young African-American girl who was raped and decided to shut the world out of her life but to later grow and let the world back in her life and start to be happy again. S I would like to read another book by this writer because she deals with many things that our true and real in our society. Freeman because he sexual abused and raped young Marguerite, when she didn't know that he was doing something very wrong to her at the time. And, when she was old enough to leave the orphanage she then got a job and supported her younger sister and older brothers and her father. S I would recommend this book to a friend because it's a good book to read to understand what rape can do to a young child both emotionally and physically, which doesn't just happen to young children but to teenagers and adults also. S If I were Momma, I wouldn't have let Maya go back to visit her mother because I would have been a little scared that the same incident as last time would have happened, even though Mr. S Momma reminds me of myself because like her I'm always or mostly there for people when they need me. S The most important thing about this book is that it tells about how rape to a young child can affect their life. S One thing I've noticed about the author's style is that she expresses what the characters are feeling and how they try to deal with certain situations.
