In my understanding of the two, they both show the mourning of the bombings. They both use very descriptive sensory imagery, irony and figurative language to show and describe what had happened ina way that you can allows you to be put in their shoes and feel the fear and the terror of that day. One of the poems use refrain saying that they will sing the song of freedom and i believe that even though it is a horrible situation they will stay strong and unite together for thier freedom. They wont let this pain distract them from gaining what is right. In that same poem the 2nd to last stanza the author asks questions they don't really make sense and i think that they did that to emphasize they those things dont belong, just like that bomb does not belong there and those girls did not deserve to die because they are angry. To some it may also look like the author is saying that hate does not belong here, segregation does not belong here, war amungst innocent people does not belong.. and its just the sense that both make you feel the sorrow of that day and also the powerful movement that happened after.

Answer:
The best answer to the question: Clara chose this excerpt to help support her interpretation of "The Caged Bird" because it has an extended metaphor that examines:___, would be: suffering.
Explanation:
"I Sit and Look Out" is a poem that was written by Walt Whitman and which makes part of the larger collection Leaves of Grass, published in 1900. This text speaks about the sufferings that the speaker sees in the world, as he does nothing more than observe such misery. "The Caged Bird", on the other hand, is a poem that was written by Maya Angelou, and it describes the life of a caged bird, its sadness and misery, the suffering the caged animal goes through, in comparisson with its counterpart that lives free. In both cases, we see one common denominator, and that is suffering, on one side, the suffering of so many people, and in the second, the silent suffering of a small bird that lives in a cage. This is why Clara could use Walt Whitman´s poem, and especially an excerpt of it, to analyzse Maya Angelou´s own poem; because both are related by the topic of suffering.
