Mother to Son By Langston Hughes

So this poem is quite obvious that the mother is describing to her son that life is very hard to live. Hughes is using and relating nouns to how hard life can be, "It's had tacks in it, and splinters, and boards torn up and places with no carpet on the floor". Then towards the end of the poem the mother is telling the son in my perspective to never give up and to fight for what makes the son happy. A nice descriptive poem.

    Leon-Which lines of Hughes' poem are you referring to? How do these images compare with "crystal stair"(Hughes 2)? How does this poem relate to the other two I asked you to read?
    Sukari- whose perspective? What does the speaker describe? Try to provide some specifics in your comments.
