Read the passage from “i know why the caged bird sings.”

i have tried often to search behind the sophistication of years for the enchantment i so easily found in those gifts. the essence escapes but its aura remains. to be allowed, no, invited, into the private lives of strangers, and to share their joys and fears, was a chance to exchange the southern bitter wormwood for a cup of mead with beowulf or a hot cup of tea and milk with oliver twist. when i said aloud, "it is a far, far better thing that i do, than i have ever done . .” tears of love filled my eyes at my selflessness.

what is the most likely reason author maya angelou included this passage?

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." and indeed there will be time to wonder, “do i dare? ” and, “do i dare? ” time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [they will say: “how his hair is growing thin! ”] my morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, my necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [they will say: “but how his arms and legs are thin! ”] do i dare disturb the universe? in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. which lines indicate that the speaker is concerned about what others think of him?
