    During her Graduation, her and fellow classmates sing national songs like the National Anthem along with the “Negro National Anthem”. “All done in the same key, with the same passion and most often standing on the same foot” (Angelou 26). Angelou refers to the “Negro National Anthem”, which vaguely embodies African Americans’ struggle to freedom. The repetition of the word: “same”, initiates them to band together because most of them have known this song, since they were young. When they sing, they reminisce about the struggles their ancestors went through.…

    The United States of America has been a safe-ground, an ally, a refuge, and a welcoming home to billions of people throughout its history and the citizens of this country know it. Americans not only call the United States their home, they take pride in it, and they envelop the very idea it is to be an American. No matter what racial, cultural, or ancestral allegiances people have that live in the US, the one common bond that unites them all is the fact that they live under the same stars and stripes. Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes recognize this fact that they are Americans just as much as their white counterpart, and celebrate not only their upbringing and culturally rich past, they celebrate, in their poems, “Still I Rise” and “I, Too, Sing America”, the fact that they are Americans together with everyone.…

When Angelou was seven, she was raped by a boyfriend of her mother’s (Williamson). After hearing of the rape, her uncles killed the man. “My seven-and-a-half-year-old logic deduced that my voice had killed him, so I stopped speaking for almost…

    Angelou once said "Once I got into it I realized I was following a tradition established by Frederick Douglass—the slave narrative—speaking in the first-person singular talking about the first-person plural, always saying I meaning 'we.' And what a responsibility. Trying to work with that form, the autobiographical mode, to change it, to make it bigger, richer, finer, and more inclusive in the twentieth century has been a great challenge for me." Ultimately Maya Angelou's style testifies to her reaffirmation of self-acceptance, which she achieves…

    The different poetic devices emphasise Maya Angelou’s message. Firstly, the repetition of “I Rise” and “I’ll Rise” 10 times during the poem, is very significant because it emphasises how much confidence and strength she has even though she suffers so severely from society being racist towards her. By repeating it throughout the poem it portrays her determination to overcome all the problems she faces during her life. Also, by repeating “I rise” it emphasises the speaker’s message which is to always fight for your rights and live strong. In line 5 the speaker asks a rhetorical question, “Does my sassiness upset you?”…

    Directly in the opening stanza, Angelou describes body detail, “I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size” ( line 2). She lets readers know that it is not her physical body traits that are attractive to people; it is the characteristics that cannot be seen or touched, her inner beauty. The way the narrator speaks in a clear and direct tone throughout the work, portrays that she has a bold and confident attitude. Angelou writes “It’s in the reach of my arms,/ The span of my hips,/ The stride of my step,/ The curl of my lips”/ (7-10) and this explains that she is a woman of larger size; her long arms, wide hips, longer legs that allow her to take larger steps; not that of a dainty lady. Her expression of her self-confidence is steady; it does not interfere with her elegance and grace as a…
