Introduction
“I will not allow anybody to minimize my life, not anybody, not a living soul-nobody, no lover, no mother, no son, no boss, no president, nobody”. (Maya Angelou) In this memoir titled I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings written by Maya Angelou, takes us through her journey growing up as a young black girl but yet as she grows up she finds herself trapped in a cage. We were giving a short story from novel to read over and answser a few questions. My Name is Margaret (Maya Angelou) **** I agree to disagree with Margaret for many reasons such as, I disagree with the action she took to speak her mind about the problem of her name. She decided to break the casserole dish and two green glasses that were very special to her employer. Instead of Margaret speaking her mind through her mouth to hush the gossip of her being dumb she should've just said how she felt. **** As a dancer I've experienced people trying to walk all over me, many thought because my physical presentation was small and cute that meant I wouldn't bite back. It took time for me to become brave and have courage in who I really was and with the help of my bigger sister people knew not to mess with me but for the times my sister wasn't present they took that as there shot to bully. I remember one time a group of older girls were very upset because I got he led in the group dance and they didn't so they tried to bully me. They pushed and pulled, while my teacher watched and finally I punched her right in the nose. See I understood what I did and knew it was wrong but I had to stand up for myself just like Margret i had to speak my mind.
