Which line from Maya Angelou's poem "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" represents African Americans and their struggles?

A. and dips his wings in the orange sun rays
B. and he names the sky his own
C. his tune is heard on the distant hill
D. his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

Respuesta :

D. "His feet are clipped and his wings are tied"

The sentence in Maya Angelou's Caged Bird  "His feet are clipped and his wings are tied" represents a scene of captivity, the lack of freedom that the African American suffered in slavery and later with the lack of rights. It represents a helpless feeling when the only thing the Caged Bird can do is sing out loud his need of freedom.
