I Know Why the Caged Bird Sing
"I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" By: Maya Angelou When I started reading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, I thought that it was 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. After the class discussion, when I (finally) read the whole thing, 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. I didn't like that Marguerite and Bailey were sent to Momma's because their parents couldn't take care of them because children should feel loved and wanted by their parents and a real family should stick together through thick and thin no matter what. In modern day, divorces are more common than ever before, and it effects the children deeply. This book reminded me of a scared and lonely, helpless child who was raped by someone she trusted and didn't know that it was wrong at the time. What happened in this book was very realistic because many children are sexually abused and raped in this day in age and racism is still g
" This is an important paragraph because just one fight between a black man and a whit man is the basis of the African-American's hope of freedom. My least favorite character was Mr. 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. Because if their parents loved them and could now afford to support them why couldn't they now stay with them? (as is still seen today) I was surprised when Mr. It was a white woman slapping her maid for being forgetful. 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. This is still seen in today's womens' issues, that the innocence in women makes them vulnerable, and things have not changed at all. I agree with the writer about how racism is an ongoing problem in the world and people should just accept it and deal with it respectively and that rape and sexual abuse are also major factors today that can be very hard to deal with especially if it's a young victim. Did she ever find happiness and get married? This book was similar to other books by this writer because it had to do with similar things that go on in our society.
