Author's Note: This is analysis of tone, mood, and figurative language in the poem "Mother to Son" By Langston Hughes.
I found the tone to be to persevere. With the metaphor "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair." as well as "It's had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor -- Bare." she, the mother, is obviously telling her son that life isn't easy, and that no matter what happens he has to keep on going. I felt that the mood was inspiration, because It inspires the reader to never give up despite all the hardships one will have to deal with.
