How Does Maya Angelou Overcome Adversity

In A Brave and Startling Truth by Maya Angelou we see self-belief and overcoming adversity when Maya Angelou was writing about a world at war in A Brave and Startling Truth, This could be a reference to when Maya Angelou was growing up because when she was growing up in America there was a lot of Racism, It was like a big war between the White people and Black people.

We can compare this poem to I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings because they both focus more on the adversity of when Maya Angelou was growing up like the war between the White and Blacks and also how unfair the Black people were getting treated by the racism and all the barriers that they have to go through. Also, the two poems still have Self-belief because in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings the bird still wants to change and leave the caged but it hasn't happened yet, but it might happen sooner or later. And in A Brave and Startling Truth with the war between the two sides (Black people and white people) haven't stopped yet but sooner or later someone who has realised that there is no point on fighting and tries to make a change and stop the war between the two sides to make the world a better place for everyone. So both poems don’t have a good ending but they both can have a good ending if someone has the courage and self belief to make a change and overcome the problem and adversity like the caged that is blocking the caged bird from being equal with the free
