Mnemonic

A professor is locked inside a cage for a dare: he must deliver an entire lecture without leaving. He grips the bars and projects his words so powerfully that students outside lean in, mesmerized. The cage amplifies his words — every phrase bounces off the metal, making the lecture unforgettable.
Additional thoughts
Picture a literal birdcage on a stage podium, a tiny professor inside shouting eloquent words outward. The confinement makes the speech more concentrated and memorable.
Quick recall
Fiery words booming from inside a cage create an unforgettable lecture.
