Mother To Son Comparison

128 Words1 Page

I think the picture is more like Mother to Son, because the woman is giving the tangled ball to the baby. I think the tangled ball represents the world. She gave him the tangled ball so he can untangle hard things in life. I think the poem Mother to Son and (WAK) are more alike than I too, and Harlem. Mother to Son is mostly alike to (WAK) because in the picture it shows the mother and son bonding. In the poem Harlem it talks about a dream coming true or not coming true, which does not compare to the picture. Also in I Too it seems like its talking about African Americans having the same rights as other race. This also does not compare to the picture.

    In the poem “Harlem” by Langston Hughes, several similes are used to portray the reality of dreams.

    Rainer Maria Rilke, author of “From Childhood,” and Alden Nowlan, author of “Mother and Son,” are both understanding of the fact that everyone has a mother—a woman from which each individual in existence was brought onto the earth. Through their literary works of art, their knowledge that the biological tie between mother and child is something that all human beings possess is evident, as well as their understanding that any further relationship past this biological connection is in the hands of each individual mother. “From Childhood” is an account of a mother and son rapport in which the mother is the driving force that stifles and smolders her child’s flame. “Mother and Son” delves into another relationship between mother and son, yet this

    This viewpoint is very confident for the future and seems to allude to Hughes knowing that one day African Americans will be seen as equal to everyone else. Maya Angelou also has a well-known poem titled “Still I Rise” in which she talks about how even with everything going against her and all African Americans, they still overcome it all and stand strong. This poem is confident as well, but in a different way than Hughes’s poem. Hughes’s poem is confident that people will one day see him for who he is, but Angelou’s poem is confident because it accuses

    First, they are written around the same time period and both about blacks being discriminated. Both the poems gave African Americans a little bit of hope that one day they will be allowed to be around whites and looked at as the same. These poems may be different, but they both have the same meaning. If anyone is going through a rough time in their life, they can overcome it. Blacks were treated terribly and went through some of the roughest times, but they never stopped fighting and never lost hope.

    Another point - instead of resting (as is recommended in a heart attack situation), we should physically move around, and actually do something which will use up our energy and the adrenaline created by the fight-or-flight reaction. We can focus on the concrete objects in our immediate environment to ensure that we stay in the present i.e. now and here! Other simple actions, like unwrapping & chewing a bubble-gum, counting backwards from 100 to 1, counting the number of people in the gathering etc., are excellent techniques to cope with the sudden attack.
