Maya Angelou wrote this amazing self-portrayal I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings to tell about her hard life growing up as a young African American girl in the south. ...

I feel that Maya Angelou intended this novel to be for a general audience, and it was written at a level for everyone to understand it and identify with it. ...
I enjoyed reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I found it interesting because this is Maya’s life and she confronts it with such honor, even though she had some hard times. I would definitely recommend it others because then they can get a glimpse of a little bit of history and how people were really treated in the 1930s, and for a moment, actually live in Maya’s world.
