28. What images in the poem underline the following poverty y struggle
Answers
Answer:
The image of a staircase begins and ends "Mother to Son." "I'se been a-climbin' on, / And reachin' landin's, / And turnin' corners," the mother says, conjuring the image of a climb through all of life's hardships. She tells her son, "Don't you set down on the steps. / 'Cause you finds it's kinder hard." Her advice is to carry on, to keep climbing the stairs despite the desire to give up. Hughes' image of the difficult, upward journey toward a better life is advice meant for everyone in times of struggle.
