Actor. Musician. Humanitarian. Entrepreneur. These are merely a few words used to describe, Yosiah Johnson (born January 23,1988 in Cincinnati, Ohio). Yosiah's love for entertainment began at a young age and was heavily influenced by greats like Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur and Martin Lawrence. Yosiah grew up in a single parent household which resulted in multiple relocations which forced him to grow up very quickly. Yosiah believes these circumstances helped him develop a very diverse,…

expressing his feeling as Caged bird feels. Dunbar’s Caged Bird is peeking outside his cage and see a beautiful landscape with the sun shining bright. While Angelou’s Caged bird is so angry, she represented her poem with Caged bird singing with fearful trill. They both continue the poem by stating they knows the way the Caged bird feels. The Caged bird by Dunbar tone is frustrate and forceful at the same time as the bird is throwing itself against the bar of its cage, the bird struggle too…

The two passages “Caged Bird,” and “World’s Reward,” both have the same positive theme, and are very rich with symbolism. The theme for them is about freedom, the spiritual and physical meaning of it. For symbolism the stories relate to the slaves and slave owners of the 1600-1800 centuries. The theme in “Caged Bird,” and “World’s Reward,” is spiritual freedom is possible even in the midst of physical enslavement. In the passages the authors, Maya Angelou and James A Haney, keep the theme…

population has declined by over 2% per year between 1966 and 2015, resulting in a cumulative decline of 65%, according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey. Ground based nests are very vulnerable to predators. Many of the “usual suspects” of egg and nestling predators affect bobolink nests (including skunks, raccoons, foxes, and snakes). A surprising bobolink nestling predator is the white-tailed…

much like a nervous and shy bird. He said “I see intervals the glance of a curious sort of bird through the close-set bars of a cage; a vivid, restless, resolute captive is there; were it but free, it would soar cloud-high. You are still bent on going” (Bronte 119). But, one side Rochester give her authority only to be a listener rather than narrator that means he also want her to be cage bird, and obeyed him. Furthermore, physically, Jane is again compared with bird by Rochester when he took…

“Hope” is the thing with feathers-- Emily Dickinson wrote the poem “Hope” is the thing with feathers in the year 1861. This poem is an extended metaphor transforming the word hope she uses, into a bird that is inside of every human. Hope and the bird are both symbols for something greater. They transform with each other and bring the reader the idea of hope in many forms. The idea of the poem is to exhibit hope as an aspect inside of us all that is powerful and inspiring. I would like to…

about a bird that is isolated in a cage from its habitat and makes an effort in trying to escape the cage. In “Caged Bird” Maya Angelou compares a free bird to a caged bird and their how different their lives can be when in two different scenarios. In both of these poems the birds are alike in many ways and also very different. In “Sympathy” and “Caged Bird” both of the birds have the same desire of escaping the cage but their physical approach of doing so is what sets them apart. The two birds…

commonly talk about issues in society by using figurative language to avoid offending civilization. “Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou addresses the huge issue that some humans are repressed while others live free. Angelou uses figurative language such as synecdoches, juxtaposing a caged bird to a free bird, which signifies the natural born rights and freedom that people have, while the caged bird represents people who are repressed and, unfortunately, do not have these rights. The overall message of…

Angelou’s poem “Caged Bird” to mean the bird which is Bahamian Culture is throwing itself against the bars of its cage which is metaphorical for the constraints to the inclusiveness of diversity to Bahamian Culture. Bahamian Culture struggles so much that it begins to bleed and needs to stop, but once its wounds are healed, it tries again. Bahamian Culture is very persistent for diversity and is just praying, wishing to be free. The cultural forefathers have caged the bird because they have been…

poem. The first example of this is the title. The title uses a metaphor to call a “thing with feathers,” a bird, hope. It doesn’t say outright that it is a bird but it can be implied because it is a thing with feathers. Even though unrelated, Dickinson uses birds and hope and compares the two in the title and throughout the poem. Throughout the entire poem, Dickinson symbolizes hope as a bird. Dickinson uses metaphors in the poem to compare the two. An example of this resides in the phrase…
