I Kkow Why The Cage Bird Sings
I Know WhyThe Caged Bird Sings "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" By: Maya Angelou S 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. S I liked the way the writer put a lot o
Also, I would have shown Marguerite and Bailey some more affection towards them. Also, that racism was a lot different and harder to deal with then. S If I could be any character in this book, I would be Momma because she took care of Marguerite and Bailey when no one else could or would and she was always there for people when they needed her. S This book made me think a lot about racism, sexual abuse and rape of a young girl, and the strong beliefs in Christianity in African-American life. S This book made me realize that rape has a major effect on a young girl and it then leads the person into a different life then they would have. S My least favorite character was Mr. S This book made me feel sorry for Maya for the hardships she went through going up especially being raped and not knowing what to do about it at all. S I think the title is a good choice for this book because it seems that she's telling us that she knows why rape and racism are problems today because she herself had to deal with them in the past. S When I finished this book, I still wondered what happened to her and her son later on in life. S 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. 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. Did she ever find happiness and get married? S This book was similar to other books by this writer because it had to do with similar things that go on in our society. S I'd like to ask the writer what happened to her and her son later on in life. S I think the main thing the writer was trying to say is that rape is a very hard thing for a young child to deal with and they need to feel loved and wanted and not that they feel dirty to you.
