Answer this question in 150-200 words: Compare the form and theme of these two closely related poems: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Sympathy.” What does Angelou's "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" contribute to Dunbar's metaphor in "Sympathy"? What's the effect of her addition of the free bird? How do the two poems compare in terms of formal structures? How else does she make a different comment on freedom and the African American struggle to achieve it? What evidence, if any, do you find that about 70 years passed between the compositions of the two poems? That is, in what ways does Angelou update Dunbar's poem to account for changes that occurred in that struggle?
