The figurative language the author Maya Angelou uses to express her point is Alliteration, Metaphors, Personification and symbolism. Alliteration is a literary device, what alliteration means is that “a series of words begin with the same consonant sound.” as stated  by the online site Literary Devices. The poem is filled with alliteration, some examples is seen in the repetition of /s/ sound in “seldom see through” and then /w/ sound in “worms waiting” and then again /sh/ sound in “shadows shouts.” Then, comes the metaphor, there are two metaphors that are presented. The free bird represents American white citizens while the caged bird represents African Americans and their imprisonment of “social norms”. Maya used various symbols to show “racial discrimination and social construction against her community. The caged bird is a symbol of imprisonment, while his song is a symbol of freedom.” as stated by the online site Literacy Devices.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
