Authors Note: This is a piece based on the poem From Mother to Son
In the poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes, there were many metaphors. An example of a metaphor was when the author wrote Life ain't been no crystal stair. When the mom said this, she was telling her son how life is never easy, and no matter how hard it gets, you have to keep climbing. When the mom was talking, the mood in which she was talking made her sound not very educated at all, because she used lots of slang words and improper grammar. The figurative language used also made it sound like she was proud of the life she had lived, even though there were many " cracks in the stair" and she didn't live on a "crystal staircase."
