The last talking point is a catchall: share anything you want about I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. For example, your overall impression, would you read again, etc. So, anything that comes to mind.

Ms Angelou talked about “allegiances” in her life at that time. Did you have similar allegiances that made a difference?
