I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings


I read the poem "I know why the caged bird sings" and the conflict is that the bird is imagining a free bird flying over water and flying through the sunset. Then it shows him in a cage with his wings clipped and behind these bars. The bird starts to sing and he starts to feel free, but all he could ever do is just imagine freedom.

"I know why the caged bird sings" can also be an inspiring poem. The story of a bird wishing for freedom, but he lost his feathers. The bird encourages himself and sings his way to freedom, closes his eyes and dreams of flying above the clouds and feeling the wind. Then he opens his eyes and comes to face he'll never be free.
