Mother to Son response

In the short story Mother to Son there is a lot of figurative language throughout the whole thing. Mostly there are metaphors, that all follow the same metaphor is the beginning; life ain't no crystal stair. This means life isn't easy. There are hard parts of life, but later the narrator tells that even though life isn't so easy, she has gotten through it. I think this poem is about how life is difficult, but that doesn't matter. Never give up and try your hardest to get past all the bumps in the road.
