Son to Mother and Mother to Son (Thursday)

Today in AP Lit, we analyzed two famous poems my Mya Angelou and Langston Hughes. These two poems are from the prospective of a mother and a son. In “Mother to Son” the speaker was giving her son words of advice to never give up, no matter what the obstacles are. She also expressed many challenges she had to face while elevating in her life. In the poem “Son to Mother” the son was basically being called a “Momma Boy” because he often called on her for help, but I feel like he shouldn’t be called a momma boy for confiding and seeking guidance from his mother. A child will always be Your child, no matter the age.
