Alright, lets work together on these okay? :)
You do one and then I'll do one, does that sound like a good plan? ^.^

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Alright, so firstly I'd say that a free bird represents freedom. The bird is flying with no restraints thus its boundaries are not limited and it is free.
You try the next one. :)

Answer 7

i thank that jim crow laws goes with white americans because they are the ones who came up with the jim crow laws

Answer 8

Alrighty :)
So a caged bird would probably go with cage. That one is probably pretty obvious. (Or I should hope so at least! )

Answer 9

ok i thank sing goes with self-expression because when you are singing you are expressing yourself

Answer 10

Good work! When I sing I do the same thing! :)
So we have :
African
American
sky

As the only words left. Is there an option missing, because if we match two more than we only have one left and nothing else to match it with.

Answer 11

what do we have left?

Answer 12

African

American

sky

Answer 13

african american go together

Answer 14

these are the answers i have

Answer 15

Wait, African and American is actually one word. Sorry, I didn't mean to separate it.
So we have African American and Sky. This doesn't make sense because how do they match>

Answer 16

i thank i figured it out

free bird - white american

jim crow laws - cage

caged bird - african americans

self-expression - sing

sky - freedom

Answer 17

You know what! I think you are absoloutly right! I was taking these definitions very literal and metaphorically rather in the real life historical sense.
Thats amazing that you did that! Good job!!! ^.^

Answer 18

thank you for the help i didn't realize that they were being used in a historical sense until i took a really good look at them

Answer 19

Yeah its kinda tricky. They are always trying to get us students with that in school aren't they? :P
Well, I'm sure you'll get a wonderful grade! ^.^
