Response to “Mother to Son”


Author’s Note: This is a short response to the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes.

In “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes the author uses one figurative language that really pops out at you. This happens to be a metaphor, “Life ain’t been no crystal stair.” To me this sets the tone and mood of sad or depressed. It makes me feel this way because the author is describing how her life hasn’t been good. It makes me feel bad for this lady.
