Langston Hughes. Diana Barbecho

I searched for Langston Hughes' life and i founded interesting. When he wrote the poem "Mother to Son" he reflects how hard his life was since he was a kid. His parents got divorced, and he traveled around many countries. I think that traveling around many different countries is not easy because for me he probably faced poorness and lack of love which he did not received from both of his parents.

In the poem he wrote: "And reachin' landin's,(line 9)
                                        And turnin' corners" ( line10)
when he writes this two lines i think that it is a reflection of how hard it was for him to live in the time when there was a lot of discrimination, and how hard it was for him to be recognized as a poet.

His poems were also criticized  by many intellectuals because they did not want him to show that black people life's was very hard. I think that they felt embarrassed but Langston Hughes did not because that was how life was for him. It was difficult, full of struggles but nothing far to reach.
In conclusion his poem "Mother to Son" say so much about his life. He faced many struggles as a kid and as an adult. By writing this poem Langston Hughes just want to encourage the readers that if he could do it, they also can.
