Kacper Resil: The caged bird sings/with a fearful trill 

# data[].attributes.body
The caged bird is trying to speak out against its bondage, but the attitude of current society makes it fearful of speaking out. This text symbolizes today's society because many people who are discriminated against are fearful of speaking out against their oppression. They fear that society will reject their opinion or lust for freedom/rights.

"his wings are clipped and

his feet are tied"

A caged bird with clipped wings and tied feet can represent any individual of a minority or marginalized group who is held or pushed back by circumstances that society has created. A bird without the ability to fly is like an individual without the societal freedom to live as any other individual does.

"of things unknown

but longed for still "

“of things unknown but longed for still,” hits the nail on the head because it refers to our world, society, and especially our country as it is right now, meaning that our country has not become all that it can be yet. In other words, our country hasn’t reached all the “things unknown but longed for still.”

The caged bird's life is similar to a non-white person in segregated America by both sharing the experience of lacking freedom and having the fear to speak out against their current situation. For example, the cage and bindings on the bird simulate the lack of rights that African Americans experienced in segregated America. Also, when the caged bird "sings with a fearful thrill", it mimics the fear that African Americans had to speak out against their lack of rights due to hate groups during this time.

With Angelou’s background in civil rights, this poem is clearly about more than a couple birds. For one, “caged” can mean held down or held back by society, thus it’s reasonable to infer that a “caged bird” is potentially anyone in society’s minority or is marginalized by society. Meanwhile the “sky” the free bird claims can represent the majority, the white majority in the case of the US, dominating and controlling society. Yet despite the oppression of the “caged bird,” it sings and calls for freedom in hope that one day it will be able to “fly,” which is like individuals of minority and marginalized groups pushing and calling for freedom and equality in hope that one day they will make their claim on and live in the world just as free birds/individuals in the majority (ie: white people) do.

"so he opens his throat to sing"

The bird realizes the limitations on it, so it does the only thing it can: sing in hope that it will one day be able to "fly." This can demonstrate individuals who recognize society's restrictions, but find ways to do what they still can like use their voices to call for freedom and equality in hope that one day they will make their claim on the world just as free birds/individuals in the majority (ie: white people) do.

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floating downstreams until the current ended. This must mean he has no anxiety or stress and worries; very happy and in the moment caged birds have the opposite.

It states "But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream."

To me this means the caged bird is having a type of dream which he is on top at the moment. While the shadow bird that is talked about is the one having a nightmare.
