In "We Wear the Mask," people suffer because life is painful and people hide their pain from the world. Dunbar writes the "clay is vile" beneath their feet, implying life on earth is hard and difficult. They do not change their situations because they cannot -- it is implied that to live is to suffer. In the poem these people appeal to Christ to save them. 

In "Sympathy," the bird suffers because it is caged. It sees the beauty of the world around it but it cannot participate in it. The bird cannot change its situation because it is literally imprisoned. The caged bird appeals in its pain to Heaven, hoping God will relive its suffering.

VARVARA [1.3K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The relationship between reading long-form texts and the development of certain skills is that reading long-form texts requires a special concentration to focus on the story, characters, events, situations, contexts, while you are processing that information in your brain.

When reading this type of text, you developed skills such as focus, understanding, taking notes, improve the capacity of your memory, and the mental agility. Of course, it also helps to increase your culture and knowledge that can be used in other situations.
