"Caged Bird" A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom

Hich excerpt from fast food nation best illustrates the use of the rhetorical appeal logos? teenagers open the fast food outlets in the morning, close them at night, and keep them going at all hours in between. elisa’s mother usually drives her the half-mile or so to the restaurant, but sometimes elisa walks, leaving home before the sun rises. the labor practices of the fast food industry have their origins in the assembly line systems adopted by american manufacturers in the early twentieth century. fast food kitchens often seem like a scene from bugsy malone, a film in which all the actors are children pretending to be adults.
