Poetry Response to "I Know Why A Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou

I can infer that the poet understands how some people feel when they are trapped inside and have absolutely no freedom!

The word that best describes how the poet feels sad. I say that the word to describe the poet is sad because maybe she may have had a time when that have happened to her. The line from the poem,"The caged bird with a fearful thrill," shows that the person that she might be talking about is that the person can see other people having fun outside while he/she is stuck inside. The message of the poem is, "Freedom is better than being stuck doing other things." I can connect with the poem because my friend had an experience like that before when her mother wouldn't let her go anywhere and kept her in her house taking care of her little sisters.
