One excerpt from "The Caged Bird" that could best be used to continue the extended metaphor is:
"For the caged bird sings of freedom,
Of hope and dreams that soar high,
Its wings may be clipped, but its spirit won't die.
In the darkest of nights, it longs for the sky."
This excerpt emphasizes the bird's longing for freedom and its resilient spirit, which can be developed further in an additional stanza of the poem.
If another stanza were added to “The Caged Bird,” which excerpt could best be used to continue the extended metaphor?
