Respuesta :

The "Mother to Son" poem by Langston Hughes contains grammatically incorrect or informal words, like " ... you finds it’s kinder hard," etc. and they remain acceptable because a speech is not a formal language, especially the mother to son speech.

  • The poem benefits richly from the use of informal language because it is conversational. It is not intended to be formal in its outline.

  • The speaker in this poem (the mother) has not had an easy life. "... ain't been no crystal stair."

  • The mood of this poem generates the feeling that the mother has witnessed hardships. In another place, the mother tells her son that "... sometimes goin’ in the dark, where there ain’t been no light."

  • These lines prove that life has been really difficult for the speaker's mother.  The mother has made her own efforts in life. She wants her son to follow in her footsteps by overcoming challenges with much effort. Success is never achieved without struggles.

Thus, this poem by Langston Hughes teaches that life is not filled with roses but thorns.
