Question

Why did the author named the story " i know why the caged bird sings"?

Answer 1

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is a 1969 autobiography about the early years of American writer and poet Maya Angelou. The first in a seven-volume series, it is a coming-of-age story that illustrates how strength of character and a love of literature can help overcome racism and trauma.

Answer 2

It is symbolic to the bird she used to hear in the cage singing as a child- as most children she was curious than , but as she got older and experienced life she is saying she now knows what she didn't know before. Hope I helped enough. :)
