In the poem "Sympathy," what does the language Dunbar uses in Stanza 3-words such as beats, plea, and flings-convey to readers? the bird's sense of triumph and victory the bird's desperation and despair the bird's acceptance of its sad fate the bird's confusion over its situation​

The bird's desperation and despair.

Explanation:

That type of language implies desperation.

Explanation:

beats-

When he beats his bars and he would be free;

It is not a carol of joy or glee,

This is the first time that the speaker tells us explicitly why the caged bird is singing: it wants to be "free." This sets up freedom as an important idea in the poem. This is a poem about a bird wanting, but not being able, to get free.

plea and flings-

But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—

I know why the caged bird sings!

We find out here that the bird's song isn't a song at all (though it sounds like it). It's a "prayer" and a "plea" that the bird sends to heaven.
