Maya Angelou created a poem called "Humane Family". This poem she wrote talks about how some people are different in some ways, and in other ways, we are the same. We trust the creator because it is her words, it is coming from the mind if Maya Angelou. The purpose of this poem is to inform us that we are different, yet the same. I found this very helpful because it is an example of her brilliant poems she made to inspire everyone and lead them in the right direction. The poem was meant for anyone that believes they are different for a reason. Maya Angelou decided to write these words into a poem to exaggerate the meaning. The information is accurate because it is coming from Maya Angelou, and she created the poem.
