Author’s Note: This is a short response about the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes and the purpose for writing is to get a ten in word choice and context.
In the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes, the figurative language clearly expresses the tone and the main idea and tone that the author wanted. The sentences, “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair” and “I’se been a-climbin’ on” are the two examples that really catch my eyes as the two figurative examples. The purposes of these sentences are that life is not always going to be smooth and easy (like a crystal) and the other one shows how she has had to work and or ‘climb’ to reach her goal. Lastly, the tone and mood are conveyed and that is sad and depressing for the Mother because she had such a hard life but perseverance while talking to her son to get through the hard times. Overall, the figurative language is expressed elegantly and in the right spots to set the tone and the mood of the characters’ surroundings.
