The correct answer is A.

This passage from Maya Angelou's " I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" is written in first person.

She is telling a story from her childhood, but is writing it from her adult perspective, thinking and analizing the events that took place years before. She does not include what she though or felt when she was living the expierence, she merely retells it, to explain the reader about her own story.

Told from “I” as an adult thinking about meaning of the event.

Explanation:

Maya Angelou's autobiography "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" is one of the most famous recollections of a black woman's life during the racism period in America. She recounts her earlier years when she had to endure all sorts of abuses and prejudices due to her negro heritage.

The given excerpt from Chapter I of the book shows Angelou recounting her childhood story of how she and her brother were travelling in a train without any family escort. Their name-tags hanging for whatever issues that may arise, she describes how she had managed to survive. The narrative point of view is that of the adult narrator, using the "I" showing the event/ scene from an adult's perspective.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
