Although the theme that stuck out to me was that you can get through anything if you have someone there to help you. For example, when Mrs. Flowers has Maya read books aloud to help her speak again. Also another example would be when Maya's mom might have asked Mrs. Flowers for help with Maya. Overall this theme can apply to the real world, but this is also what got Maya through being depressed.]]> 2017-09-12 14:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/finneybw/o7wmv3h9lfq7/wish/186811626 https://padlet.com/finneybw/o7wmv3h9lfq7/wish/186811788 In 'I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings" I can infer that the theme is 'Don't give up". Mrs. Flowers didn't give up on Marguerite. We Believe this because in the text it say's "There's one more thing, take this book of poems and memorize one for me. Next time you pay me a visit, I want you to recite." This is why we think the theme is "Don't give up", It shows that Mrs. Flowers was determined to help Maya and teach her how to speak again . That is why we believe that the theme is "Don't give up".]]> 2017-09-12 14:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/finneybw/o7wmv3h9lfq7/wish/186811788 https://padlet.com/finneybw/o7wmv3h9lfq7/wish/186811989 The theme in ''I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings'', is don't judge a book by its cover. For example, ''She (Mrs. Flowers) was our sides answer to the richest white women in town.'' This makes her seem rich and rich people don't care much for others. Also, the excerpt says, ''As I ate she began the first of what we later called ''my lessons in living.'' This explains how Mrs. Flowers cared for others, especially for Marguerite. The author uses theme by showing us how a rich person actually cares for others.]]> 2017-09-12 14:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/finneybw/o7wmv3h9lfq7/wish/186811989 https://padlet.com/finneybw/o7wmv3h9lfq7/wish/186811998 A theme the reader can infer from the excerpt "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" is 'You never know how much you can make a difference in someone else life'.
