What are the connotations of crystal stair in the
poem? Check all that apply
a life of luxury
I a life that is free of troubles
a life that is filled with challenges
a life that is relaxed
a life that is invisible
Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor –
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
- Mother to Son,
Langston Hughes
