Answer 1

In "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," Marguerite feels **trapped** much like the caged bird in the poem "The Caged Bird." Throughout the narrative, she experiences a sense of confinement due to racism, societal expectations, and her own personal struggles. This feeling of being trapped reflects the broader themes of oppression and longing for freedom that are central to both the memoir and the poem.
