Sympathy
Paul Laurence Dunbar
Title: Sympathy
Poet:Paul Laurence Dunbar
Background Information: Dunbar was the son of slaves who escaped using the underground Railroad.He worked as a writer and published many poems and short stories. Dunbar explored the themes of slavery and life in the south.
Subject of poem: A caged bird
Repeated word and phrases:I know why; cadge bird
Structure of the poem: 3 stanzas with 7 lines in each
Rhyme scheme: abaabcc
What I liked about the poem: It is easy to read
What the poet is saying: He seems to be comparing a cadge bird to human slave.
The mood of the poem: Sad because the bird want to get out.
Why does he repeat the phrase ''I know why the cadge bird'': He know how the bird feel.
''I know what the cadge bird feels,alas'': Alas makes me think that he has been a cadge bird too.
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars: Speaker seems to be getting angrier because his images are getting more violent.
''But a plea, that upward to heaven he flings''. ' cadge bird' seems very desperate to fling a prayer upward.
I felt this because: It feels sad to be in a cadge
How does the speaker feel about slavery: I know this because: He thicks that slavery is horrible. The slave/bird are locked up and can't get free even though the keep trying to get away.
''When the first bird sings and the first bud opes''
Bird sing in the spring time the flower opes.
''I know why cadge bird beats his wing/Till its blood is red on the cruel bars''
Speaker understands the bird's frustration.Bird knows that escape is impossible but it still beat it wing against the bar,trying to get away.
''It is not a carol of joy or glee./But prayer that he send from his heart's deep core''.
The song that the bird is singing are not happy ones; they are a sad pleading for freedom.
Simile-the river flow like a stream of glass.
Metaphor- cadge bird=slaves or African American who are not free.
Rhyme- Alas, grass, and glass.
Imagery-first bird sing (hearing) and the first bud opes (sight).
Repetition- I know what the cadge bird feels.
