Author’s note: I am writing a response on “Mother to Son” written by author Langston Hughs. My purpose of writing is to identify the mood, tone, and figurative language throughout the story.
When you have a poor relationship with your father, I’m sure great advice from your mother would mean a lot. In the short poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughs, the poem is from the mother, to the son about never giving up. In a way, the tone, which is the expression the author has, is motivational, because of the way the mother is looking out for her son, only wanting the best. How the author wants you to feel is inspired, reasoned because even if you have ‘tacks’ in your life, or have been broken, always persevere. I thought the figurative language was amazing, because life can’t be a crystal stair, and your life can’t be “boarded up” but those were great ways of explaining how she felt at certain points in her life, and that’s how the figurative language was meant to be in this poem.
