((you : ) ))read the stanzas.
the free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
but a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
–“caged bird,”

why the caged bird sings of freedom after having a nightmare
why the caged bird fears freedom and sings instead

The correct answer is A. Why the emotional pain of oppression makes the caged bird shout

Explanation:

The poem presented in the question is divided into two main stanzas one that describes the free birds and another describing the caged birds. In the case of the first stanza, the author describes the way the free bird thinks about the breeze, the wind, and the worms and the way the bird own the sky. On the opposite, the second stanza describes the caged bird as sad, tormented and unable to scape as in "stands on the grave of dreams" or "his wings are clipped and his feet are tied", and the author finally explains because of this feelings "he opens his throat to sing", this shows a contrast between both birds, especially in the oppression of the caged bird and the way this shouts or sings due to this oppression. Therefore, after reading both stanzas the reader can understand "why the emotional pain of oppression makes the caged bird shout".

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

as i reached for a stick, he moved to the other side of the hill.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
