Mother to son

            This poem is about a mother speaking to her son in almost a persuasive tone saying that no matter what life throws at him that he just has to keep going the way she says it she almost has a soft yet firm tone because she’s saying it nicely because its her son but she’s also got the part of her talking that is firm because she wants him to get somewhere in life. One of the most important examples of figurative language in this story to me is “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair” I think it is important because it is a strong message saying life isn’t easy but you can make it through it. I think this is very important because life can have objects that throw you off the right path but as long as you make the right choices you will end up okay.
