Mother to Son

Authors Note: This is an analysis of the poem Mother to Son by Langston Hughes.


In the poem Mother to Son by Langston Hughes, he describes trough poem what life was like for a person living in the Harlem renaissance. In the poem he uses this metaphor “Life for me ain’t no crystal stair”. In my head it sounds like it was a tough time to be going through and it was hard to enjoy the wonderful things happening with their culture. I think the author put this in the poem because he was one of the people that were in the Harlem renaissance and he knew what it was like and how hard it was to enjoy everything, but he never gave up and was able to persevere through all the tough times.
