The Human Journey In Mother To Son By Langston Hughes

The purpose of the human journey is to expand horizons and to discover the unknown. It gives us a purpose to strive to do better and become our own person. There 's no one purpose of the human journey only because we all have different reasons, we’re all on this earth to make it better is so many ways. We all grow mentally, physically and, emotionally when given our journey. We’re here to figure out that not everything is going to be rainbows and flowers, we will fail them get back up and succeed. We are here to contribute positively with grace and humbleness. We’re here to follow our own set of rules we make, not here to listen to negative vibes or opinions.

In the poem, “Mother to Son,” by Langston Hughes, he writes, “ Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, and splinters…,” which means life wasn’t perfect for the speaker in this poem and that life will never be perfect, or easy. Being put on this earth we are given a job to find what makes us “worth it,” even if it’s the slightest thing. Throughout the poem, the speaker continues to tell us about his/her journey through life and how it’s been tough but also on how he/she never gave up. “Don’t you fall now— For I’se still goin’ honey, I’se still climbin’...,” this portrays how no one should ever give up no matter how

Mary Oliver shows that in her poem, “The Journey,” the speaker of the poem is going through a learning phase, learning who they are as a person and what their goals are as well. She writes “One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice,” this proves my point above. They have found their “journey” but of course, there are some people who just keep trying to put them down and it just doesn’t end. You finally realize that you’re the only person who can save yourself from anything and everything life throws at
