The poem “Mother to Son‚” by Langston Hughes‚ is about a mother advising her son about life. She tells him that life is not easy and that he should not give up even when life is hard. Throughout the poem she uses an extended metaphor to compare life as a decayed stair. The mother expressed the hardship of life by saying‚ “And splinters‚ And boards torn up‚ And places with no carpet on the floor” (4-6). She describes the stair as an old and decayed stair that seems impossible to climb. Life is hard

errors that occur in the nursing field‚ a nurse that lacks thinking may still make mistakes. It is imperative for all nurses to understand the significance of thinking. About a week ago in clinical I witnessed an overworked RN practicing nursing without thinking. It was one of my fellow students that actually pointed it out to me.

It is hard for me to imagine my life in a world without brands. How could it be possible? In my opinion a world without brands it is like imagine a world‚ where the people hasn’t got a name‚ a world where people have no identity.
