Authors Note: This is a response to the poem "Mother to Son".
The metaphor in the poem “Mother to Son”, by Langston Hughes, is when he says, “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.” It is used so that you understand that his life hasn’t been expensive and easy. He had to work for things. Also the personification, “I’se a-climbing on,” means that she never gave up and is still trying to get to the top. The tone that I get from this story is that a person passing down a helpful tip to someone because he is trying to tell that person to never give up. The mood that I think the author had in this was serous because I believe the author is truly trying to help the person.
