Mother To Son Langston Hughes

Okay, my son, I am going to tell you: Life is not without the stairs of crystal for me. There are rivets, debris, tearing board on the floor, there is no carpet. But I climbed all the time, then I got to the ground and turned, and sometimes walking in the lightless darkness. So, boys, do not look back. You do not have to take steps. Because you found it more infrequently. You do not fall now - "I am still working hard", Dear, I am still climbing, and to me, life has no stairs in the crystal

If we have to die, do not hunt and write in disgraceful places like pigs. If we have to die, we will be happily dead so that our blood will not be lost; and even if we died, even monsters we ignore will be limited ! Relatives, we have to meet a common enemy! It is far beyond us, show us the courage and cause a fatal blow for their one thousand attacks! Is there an open grave in front of us? Like a man, we face intense, cowardly parcels, pressed against the walls, will die, and counterattack!

As explained in the first two answers, the extended metaphor is a metaphor through most or all literary works. In the poem by Langston Hughes's "Mother and Child", Langston Hughes has battled the struggle of his mother's life with courage. In the introduction of this poem, the mother explained to his son that the mother of this poem compared his life with all dishonorable things. First, she compares her life with the stairs of the crystal. Crystals are considered beautiful, pure, transparent and worthwhile. Mother explained that her life is not these things. She also showed a simple life full of debris and broken boards. However, Langston Hughes also showed that his mother refused to give up and stop. And as shown below, even unknown ones can prove this.

The theme of Langston Hughes's "Mother to Son" was to urge his son to keep on living with the mother overcoming difficulties. The expanded metaphor of the crystal staircase reinforces the theme. The mother did not climb the stairs of the crystal but went up the stairs as "stacked", "fragments", "rips", "there was no carpet on the floor." All of these images highlight the upward movement of the mother. Despite the difficulties, and her obstacles on the road she needs to move forward. The language the mother uses is her native language - a daily speech. She is talking about ways an uneducated woman speaks - a woman who must always work hard. For example, she uses words like "not" or "no crystal steps". Other examples of her native language speech are "I" and "Climbing". Her words reinforces her ideas from a discreet background, but continues to work hard to achieve better goals.
