8. What is the central idea of a poem?

Pita: Maya Angelou wrote this caged bird because she got assaulted when she was 8 years old and the man who assaulted her was found and sentenced by the judge. 

Malachi:That Maya Angelou is the caged bird and that man that was pita talking about he only got one day of jail for some reason but he got killed or murder after he was released from jail.When he got killed Maya went mute.

Hone:

Malachi: I wished that the caged bird would be free.
