Mother To Son

BY HYPERLINK http//www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/langston-hughes LANGSTON HUGHES Well, son, Ill tell you Life for me aint been no crystal stair. Its had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor Bare. But all the time Ise been a-climbin on, And reachin landins, And turnin corners, And sometimes goin in the dark Where there aint been no light. So boy, dont you turn back. Dont you set down on the steps Cause you finds its kinder hard. Dont you fall now For Ise still goin, honey, Ise still climbin, And life for me aint been no crystal stair. This poem Its about a mother speaking to her sons about life and how difficult it can be to make dreams come true. Life has been hard for the mother she has been through many difficult times but never gave up and kept forward but, despite problems the advice to her son is still not dismayed, continue ahead still to achieve the dreams or goals in life, life is not easy, but people must move toward their wished dreams. Mother is exemplified and I realize about it for the phrase used by her -For Ise still goin, honey- Ise still climbin, Another important aspect about this poem in the language used by the mother, the poem suggests that the mother does not an advanced education, or maybe she has not been to school, this is easy to identify by the bad spoken English the mother uses to communicate with her son I picture that the author with this poem also wanted to emphasize that no matter the level of education that someone has, if somebody does not have a good education can achieve his dream, the important thing is not to give up the dreams.
