    “Kamala kept a small rare songbird in a small golden cage. It was about this bird that he dreamt… The little bird was dead and lay stiff on the floor. He took it out… and then threw it away on the road, and at the same moment he was horrified and his heart ached as if he had thrown away with this dead bird all that was good and of value in himself.” (p.82)…

    What she is speaking of is a slave, trapped in his master’s cage, meaning forced labor. The slave is so enraged but his hands are tied, he is forced to do as his master commands.

For example, “Hard Trails” and some of the lyrics are “Now ain’t them hard trails, great tribulations, Hard trials, hard trials, I am bound to leave this land.” Most of these songs were about the Lord saving them.…

    The author uses imagery to illustrate and give the reader a clear understanding of his thoughts about injustice. Dunbar uses imagery by stating, “ Till it’s blood is red on the cruel bars” (line 9). This shows the bird’s relentless efforts to escape. The author includes this to relate the bird’s struggles and hardships to his own dealing with injustice. Another way Dunbar uses imagery to relate to injustice is by stating, “ When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, When he beats his bars and he would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee, But a prayer he sends from his heart’s deep core”( lines 16-19). Here the author uses imagery to show the reader that even when the bird is in pain he still fights for freedom and justice. The author uses this piece of imagery to relate himself to the bird in the sense of that like the bird, the author fights for his freedom, but along the way is…

    One of the ways that the producers made the film fun and easy for all ages to understand, was they used little, fuzzy, blue birds to act out the story. The bird’s actions and expressions made it easy to understand that they were not very nice. The ending revealed the true intentions of the film. It describes very clearly how bullying happens and what the consequences are. The consequences of the birds were that they all got flung off the wire and lost all of their feathers, because of their actions toward the friendly bird that they did not like.…
