Sympathy by:Paul Laurence
The poem Sympathy is about this caged bird trying to get free. He tries everything and tries to get free but it wont budge. So what he tries to do but still does not work is trys to free his self in the cage but he was hurting his self and was bleeding alot. This poem though made me sad though and well intersting by how smart this bird is to think of an idea to get free but got hurt too. This story can compare to slavery from a long time ago. It compares it by how slaves are stuck and trapped and how the bird is stuck in the cage and he is trying to get free just like slaves trying to get free from slavery so they can get freedom.
