Read this excerpt from "Rules of the Game."
A man who watched me play in the park suggested that my mother allow me to play in local chess tournaments. My mother smiled graciously, an answer that meant nothing. I desperately wanted to go, but I bit back my tongue. I knew she would not let me play among strangers. So as we walked home I said in a small voice that I didn't want to play in the local tournament. They would have American rules. If I lost, I would bring shame on my family.

poetry foundation caged bird poem analysis
Answer:
The poem describes the opposing experiences between two birds: one bird is able to live in nature as it pleases, while a different caged bird suffers in captivity. Due to its profound suffering, the caged bird sings, both to cope with its circumstances and to express its own longing for freedom. The free bird can fly, walk, and see the outside world.
The caged bird can't do all these. He can only sing. The free bird seems too busy to sing, as he has more pleasures to enjoy. He takes his freedom for granted. He doesn’t know what being caged means. Yet, his ignorance of oppression and slavery is his strength. Perhaps, through the song of freedom, the person who caged the bird will tire of his constant songs and set him free. Thus, his voice is his weapon.
Unlike the free bird who “leaps on the back of the wind,” “floats” and “dips” and “claims the sky,” the cage restricts the abilities of the caged bird. Nonetheless, he keeps his freedom of expression and uses it. The bird expresses himself through singing.
He is still alive and despite being a prisoner, he can still use his voice. His throat is free. He sings so loudly that his voice reaches the "distant hill." Even though he is in a cage, there’s no lock or cage that can restrict his voice and freedom of mind.
You can use a few paragraphs from this if u want less paragraphs or u can use it all. :) hope it helps

9. Explain your views of Mary Shelley’s decision to frame the story as she does: with Robert Walton’s narrative bookending the story told by Victor Frankenstein. Does this framing device improve the story or detract from it? How? In what ways does Walton’s character serve as a stand-in or surrogate for readers? In what ways are his views and reactions colored by his personal background and circumstances?
Answer and Explanation:
The frame to which the question refers, are the letters of Robert Walton, presented in the book "Frankenstein." In these letters Walton tells his sister about witnessing the creation of Victor Frankenstein. This enhances and improves the story, as it shows that the entire Victor Frankenstein narrative is real. That's because Victor Frankenstein's story of creating a man through pieces of dead people is very surreal and fanciful, but when Walton confirms that this actually happened, we can trust that Victor Frankenstein is telling the truth and not fantasizing in a crazy way. This is mainly due to the fact that Walton is also a science lover like Victor Frankenstein, but he is more rational and less eccentric, which allows the reader to trust that the story is true, even if he is suspicious of Victor Frankenstein.
