development. However‚ many American’s remember the time as an age of dramatic social and political change. For many‚ this time brought more conflict than celebration as is referenced in a poem named “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes. In this poem‚ Hughes writes through the voice of an older mother‚ making the comparison of her life as like a staircase.

"Necessity is the Mother of Invention" The quote‚ “Necessity is the mother of invention‚” is a pretty well known saying. Like most quotes‚ they can have different meanings for different people. To me‚ this quote means that without ever having to need anything‚ nothing would have been invented. Without necessity‚ the need for new inventions‚ such as the fire or even the television‚ may have never been found or even thought of. Also‚ with the need of certain things‚ you can help improve your life
