Author's Note: This is a piece about the poem Mother to Son. The purpose is to explain the figurative languages it contains.
Other figurative
languages used in the story other than metaphors are hyperbole's, because some
things in her life may have been painful, but it couldn’t have been as painful
as stepping in tacks or getting splinters in your feet from climbing the stairs
of life. The meaning of this poem is to show her son what she has been through,
and that no matter what happens, he should still keep going on with his life,
because it’s worth it in the end. The mood is rather sad or possibly upset, because the mother is warning the son about the rough points of life, and while telling him this, she's probably remembering the harsh times that she has had, and it might be heartbreaking for it to continue to linger in her mind.. The tone is encouraging.
