A. There is no sense dreaming about the future when you are unhappy.

Explanation:

Maya Angelou's biographical memoir "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" is a story of her childhood strife with racism, her journey to self-acceptance, and freedom. This book deals with the life of a black girl amidst the racism and the importance of education and getting to know one's true ability and worth.

Maya's experiences during her childhood had always been about how she was perceived as a child, along with the trauma of being raped and racially discriminated. But with the emergence of Mrs. Bertha Flowers, she was given a lease of new life when she (Mrs. Flowers) taught her how to read and write. And the metaphorical image of the caged bird trying to escape her cage is that of Maya herself who wishes to escape the restraints of her life and do what she loves, be free of her confinement and discrimination from racism as a black girl growing up in America. And through her childhood experiences, one main theme that she alludes or refers to is the importance of happiness in dreaming about one's future.
