Life doesn’t frighten me “ By Maya Angelou.

            Life doesn’t frighten me by Maya Angelou is about how a child sees life. This symbolizes of how innocent a child is. At a young age, you don’t really know much about what goes on, but as you grow up it changes. You start to realize the things you didn’t realize as a child.

            One reason for believing this, is the fact that the child gives the characters well-known names. Such as mother goose from the nursery rhymes, mythological creature such as a dragon and a lion. But thing is, as you read more into the poem those kid names turn into more of troublesome title. Such as “ bad guys “, “ panthers” and Etc. Bad guys is quite literal. Panthers are strongest climbers.

            The more you read this poem the more mature they become. “ I can walk the ocean floor/ And never have to breathe. “ gave me a feel as if Angelou was talking about death. Since you have to be able to breathe to be alive. What also pulled a trigger to  me was when the child in “ Life doesn’t frighten me said the only fear she gets is her dreams. Since that’s where her monsters are located. As a wise man once said before “ The only monsters that exist are n your head. “
