Final reflection about the book "I know why the caged bird sings"

The book written by Maya Angelou called “I know why the caged bird sings” shows us the life of an African American girl, that has to struggle with society, rules, agency, discrimination, violence and many other things.

What I can say is that through his book I have seen a whole new point of view of the situation of United States in those years which will be probably around the 1930’s. I have seen a new perspective of things how it has change and the way people had to live through the eyes of a girl that grows and changes as the book goes chapter by chapter.  The characters in it had to go against many problems like racial discrimination which was a very difficult topic in those times because of segregation.  It also shows us a way people fight for the equality in many different ways, like passive ones or active ones.

In conclusion this has been a book that has taught me many things about historic things, because even if this text had some of fantasy it showed real life situations. I think it is a wonderful book that has always had my attention from the moment when I got it, because of the uniqueness of the way of delivering the life of the author
