His daughter understood the bird better than all the others who had owned it. As soon as the swallow was brought to her by her father she noticed it was feeling sickly as was she. The text states“When the girl wakes suddenly in the middle of the night, the first thing she sees through her fever is a small cliff swallow blinking at her from behind the bars of a rattan cage. She knows too well how terrible it is to be kept inside. ‘I know what you need, little bird,’ she murmurs. But the swallow no longer believes what people say. Slowly, the sickly girl rises from her bed and carries the cage to the open window. Unlatching the rattan door, the girl asks, ‘Will you fly for me, too, little bird?’ And her language is one that the swallow understands.” This shows how the girl and the swallow understand each other. The swallow was able to fly under the rice moon yet another time. Both the little girl and the bird became free. The swallow passed by the little girl’s window every

Freedom for the bird is the equivalent of the love and approval that Claudia, Pecola and Freida all long for throughout The Bluest Eye. By lashing out in their different ways, the three girls and the bird all place themselves further away from the freedom and love they are seeking to gain through their individual efforts. By denying the girls adequate love and acceptance and the bird the ability to fly, they are all denied a piece of their own humanity and the ability to live a normal life.

Do what the bird's heart desires. The article "Under The Rice Moon" is about this sick girl who takes a bird into her house to take care of it. It was in the city of Hong Kong.

She repeats the phrase, “it is in your hands,” being as the bird symbolizes language, to emphasize that the use of language can be once again corrupted or pure, literally the bird’s fate. This phrase has become a metaphor

The theme of “Under the Rice Moon” by Rhiannon Puck is that it’s easier to fathom what someone is feeling when you went through or are going through a similar situation. The sick girl empathized with the cliff swallow, which allowed her to realize it wished to be free from the cramped cage. Both were trapped and longed for freedom. Twice in the story, the bird asked to be let out of the cage.

To End, Andrew and his dad’s life relates to ”the bird”. In the story, a bird in the book got stuck in the airport and waited a few days until it’s wing got better then flew away home. In the text Andrew said “ Fly Away Home! Though I couldn’t hear it, I knew it was singing. Nothing made me as happy as that bird. Andrew and his dad’s life relates to the bird because the bird got stuck in an airport. This illustrates that they live in an airport. Another reason the bird connects with their life, is because the bird eventually gets out of the airport. This means that someday, Andrew and his dad might get an apartment and leave the airport like the bird. Lastly, Andrew is positive that what happened to the bird will happen to him. This proves Andrew is hoping to get an apartment soon. Andrew and his dad’s life relates to “the

Then, “Caged Bird” discusses a bird who is abused and is enclosed in a cage and sings to communicate with others. This is a metaphor for slaves' lives and how they sang in the fields to communicate with each other.
