Themes in Maya Angelou's autobiographies
- ... that the themes in Maya Angelou's autobiographies serve to provide her entire series of six autobiographies with "organic unity"?
- Reviewed: Idle Thumbs
- Comment: This article is actually a forked article that originally appeared in Maya Angelou, created because the original article is too long. All content is original, however.

Profound, well sourced. However, I can't see the first source where I am right now, the one which supports the hook. Also, I only find that statement in the lead, not - as I had hoped - with an explanation in the article. What do you think of mentioning instead the framed "Human beings are more alike than unalike.", clearer to me than "organic unity"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words. How about another hook, one that explains things a bit more:
- ALT1: ... that the Maya Angelou's use of themes in all six of her autobiographies connect them together and provide them with thematic unity? Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:18, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- "connects them together" is not my favourite expression, what do you think of:
- ALT2: ... that Maya Angelou's use of themes in her autobiographies provides all six of them with thematic unity, beginning in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:43, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'm good with that. It's not perfect, but it's an improvement. I can't figure out a way to avoid the passive voice. Your version may be the best we can come up with, considering what we want to convey. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
- Trying to make her active and repeat less, open for improvement:
- ALT3: ... that Maya Angelou uses themes in her autobiographies to connect all six of them organically, beginning in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:15, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
- ALT4: ... that Maya Angelou (pictured) uses themes in her autobiographies to connect all six of them organically, beginning in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:30, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
