On this poem about mother to son all I can say is WOW. The author Langston Hughes some how compares life to a crystal staircase. The crystal stair (a perfect life) while he puts in many ways where life can be painful and hard but at the same time good.
Well, son, I'll tell you: life for me ain't been no crystal stair. This sentence Langston Hughes hammered in his peice tells how life can never be perfect. Life always cracks, splinters, broken steps but never stairs that are flawless. Life is hard, life is so precious because it is hard. The fight for survival goes on even if you experience pain you must push yourself forward not the other way around.
Spliters, tacks, boards torn up... slowing you perhaps killing you. Pain or no pain life goes on. Difficulties that can tear someones heart apart, sadness that can cause someone to suicide. Life is full of pain.
Pain can stand for the death of someone perceious to you or betrayal from a friend. When a difficulty of death of someone really dear to you your heart breaks apart. It is worse than dieing but instead it is eternal torment. Someone really dear can cause you to lose the passion to live thats what the obstacles mean.
One theory that I thought of was can time and life be related? If you compare them they both cant be rewinded. If you try to rewind time it is impossible. That is like a order how if you try to rewind time you must turn back which is impossible because time cant be rewinded.
This poem has a really deep meaning to it that is why it is so spectacular and why it is so good.
Your poem is great because you looked at it more complicated than I did, so GOOD JOB............
