Analysis Of Mother To Son By Langston Hughes

In stanza 3 states “But I hung on like death,” uses simile. It benefits the cause of alcohol that soon becomes tragic for the son. He’s gotten used to it that being abused, death can affect him. Additionally it touches people's ideas to illuminate the true meaning of the poem and to create a negative picture in the reader's mind that is shown by the son of an abusive father. In stanza 13 through 14, “You beat time on my head with a palm caked hard by dirt.”

In lines 1 and 2, the narrator says “ Out of the church she followed them with a lofty step and mein.” After reading these two lines I saw a woman walking out of a church following a newly wedded couple. I also see Maude Clare dangling half a golden chain in front of Thomas’ face because in line 21 Maude Clare says, “Here’s my half of the golden chain.” I believe the mood of the poem is sympathy/pitying. After reading this poem I felt sympathetic to each of the main characters.

The next two lines say, “hung on like death” and “ waltzing was not easy” this shows that the child stands by their father and it wasn’t that easy. Continuing with the second stanza the child describes more about going through this crazy life. “ We romped until the pans/ Slid from the shelf;/ My mother’s countenance/ Could not unfrown itself”. The first two lines of the stanza say that the child and their father keep trying in life through the good and bad times.

Let us say someone encountered a bump in life or something bad happened people will always move past it eventually because people cannot let something weigh them down for the rest of their lives. The big message or idea of these two poems is to keep moving on because people will always have to deal with problems. In “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes and Still I Rise by Maya Angelou they both convey the message that people should never give up and keep on rising no matter what happens or what people say.

Have you ever felt loss so deep that everything you see is different just because that person is gone? In Mother by Ted Kooser the speaker’s mother’s death made his world view more sorrowful. Through this view of the world Kooser uses symbolism, personification, and imagery to show the speaker’s feelings about his mother dying. Symbolism is used in many different ways throughout this poem to present the speakers feelings on his mother dying. Her vibrance is shown in the lightness and happiness of nature.

In this poem, we are taught to value everyone because we don’t know their stories and we don’t know what they have been through. An example of this is “He tried to kill himself in grade ten when a kid who could still go home to mom and dad had the audacity to tell him “get over it” as if depression is something that can be remedied by any of the contents found in a first aid

This paper will be discussing a certain idea which tells that a mother’s love, specifically Mrs Lowe’s love for her son, is unconditional and eternal. Right from the beginning of the movie,

As a foster parent, she grew an attachment for the child and loved him, but torn at the fact that she was not his real mom. In effect of having to take a child from their real birth mother, it is often a challenge for most foster parents. She describes the hatred she once had towards the biological mother and how afraid she was in possibly never seeing her child again. She learned to overcome the feeling of hatred and was appreciative of the fact that the woman gave her son the gift of life, and brought him into the world (Russell para 4). After all, these children deserve a chance to have a family who loves them as if they were their own.
