Caged Bird Metaphors

They are both replacing something with metaphors to make a so you will understand. The bird is a metaphor, the actions or scenarios the bird is in is a metaphor. They both use the bird as a metaphor, and they are both to representing slavery and how it was like being a caged bird. They both are a very dark and moody story.

Sympathy has a part that says “I know why the caged bird beats his wing, Till its blood is red on the cruel bars”. It's representing that it was like slavery how they would do so much to get out of slavery and fight what was for the better of them. Sympathy was basically based on all slavery, and Maya Angelou's kind of copied his idea but they are both really good.
