“Mother to Son” The speaker of the poem “Mother to Son‚” by Langston Hughes is a mother who is giving advice to her son. Her life has been difficult and hard at times.

This means that her life has not been perfect and she had many challenges to deal with. Perhaps she was born into poverty‚ because the images in her poem reveal a ragged‚ old staircase
