She only had a sibling, Bailey Johnson Jr, and had a child, Guy Johnson, at the age of sixteen. “Caged Bird” is a part of Maya Angelou’s book “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” This was written to inform us about the first death she experienced. Maya Angelou had a hard childhood and experienced racisms and discrimination at a young age. Despite the racism and discrimination, she became a poet, singer, memoirist, and even a civil rights activist. Maya was able to publish 7 autobiography, be credited for several plays, and was also on a television show that spanned over 50 years. She explained the funeral made her rethink about how “dying, death, dead, passed away, were words and phrases that might even be faintly connected with me.” Maya felt now that death was a real and it can happen to anything that’s living. ]]> 2018-10-23 16:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sanz_edwards/pbzsi4mpg83a/wish/296036017 Logos - Maryam, Nick, Brisell, Kaia https://padlet.com/sanz_edwards/pbzsi4mpg83a/wish/296041173

Maya Angelou uses examples of logos in the funeral excerpt from I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings to help enhance her writing when she talks about the inevitability and surreal feelings about death. Logos is using factual information and evidence in order to communicate efficiently. Angelou explains how she was only a child when she attended a funeral for the first time and the lasting effects it had on her. She described how she never imagined herself being associated with death. “But on a onerous day, oppressed beyond one life, my own mortality was born in upon me on sluggish tides of doom” Angelou explained the reality of death and the fact that it is indeed inevitable for everyone. Angelou also uses logos in addition to ethos and pathos to further instill her point by addressing her own mortality and relating that to everyone.

In her autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou wrote about how she was involved in a funeral and the experiences that she had with that funeral. Maya thoroughly described how she felt about the funeral. She wrote this autobiography to share what being at a funeral was like for her as a young girl of [10] years old. ]]> 2018-10-23 16:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sanz_edwards/pbzsi4mpg83a/wish/296045775 Pathos - Gerardo, Rosario, Jazmine, Alvi https://padlet.com/sanz_edwards/pbzsi4mpg83a/wish/296046608 In the beginning paragraph Maya Angelou evoked feelings of happiness because she was remembering happy thoughts and memories of Ms. Florida Taylor. In the death of her neighbor, the word death did not seem real, as she has never come across the situation “ …oppressed beyond relief, my own mortality…” The minister was delivering comfort, yet at the same time delivering a warning, letting them know that any day could be someone's last day and the best way to leave is to be right with God. The viewing of the body, the guilt she felt of being alive and breathing. By viewing the lifeless body, their fear grew for knowing one day that they would be them inside the coffin. The emotions struck the hardest, the moans and screams evoke a chain reaction throughout the room.
