Passage 1Passage 2
Read the passage from “The Caged Bird.”
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky
Which phrases representing the idea of freedom connect the poem to the autobiography?
“Leaps on the back of the wind” connects to “ran down the hill.”
“And floats downstream” connects to “and into the road.”
“Dips his wing in the orange sun” connects to “the good sense.”
“And dares to claim the sky” connects to “to stop running.”
“And dares to claim the sky” connects to “to stop running.”
The phrase "Leaps on the back of the wind" connects to "ran down the hill", as both express a sense of freedom and taking risks. The phrase "And floats downstream" connects to "and into the road", as both signify moving forward and embracing new experiences. The phrase "Dips his wing in the orange sun" connects to "the good sense", as both emphasize connecting with nature and finding solace in it. However, the phrase "And dares to claim the sky" does not directly connect to "to stop running", as it represents a bold and fearless act, whereas "to stop running" implies ceasing an action rather than taking a daring leap.
