I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (Cliffs Notes)

Rating:
Summary: Offers great insight into Maya's book
Review: Cliffnotes added greater depth to my understanding of I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS; it did so by providing background information not available in the book itself. I enjoyed reading quotes by Maya Angelou regarding her life, the genesis of the idea to write an autobiography, and the process of the writing. The Cliffnotes points out that autobiography has become an important aspect of African American cutlure.

Summary: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Review: Dr. Angelou has a wonderful way with words. She can make you laugh, think... anything that aids you in getting into her writing. I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings is an excellent portrayal of what life was like for those who were black in that time. Her story may be horrible for many people to imagine, but many times, the truth needs to be published before work can be done to eliminate social injustices such as the white/black problem. Thank-you, Mrs. Angelou, for writing such an honest document, so that people for years to come can read your books, and know that we CAN help in making our world a better place. God bless.

Summary: What an insight!
Review: Maya Angelou's written language is alive, and that's refreshing. There is a specific life-view from the standpoint of a black girl growing up, and it is uplifting how she meets her difficulties with confidence. Her humor in many situations made me laugh out loud. Yes, she is a gripping author, and the tidbits of wisdom shine through like rays of sunlight...

Review: We had to read this novel by Maya Angelou and I thought it was a very good example of the way you should write. She used imagery and descriptives to show you,the reader, how it really was in her life. I LOVED IT !!!
