In Maxine Kumin’s poem “Woodchucks”‚ the reader is led into a short tale of a woman whom is dealing with a family of woodchucks that are eating away at her garden. While this poem appears to be a simple tale following this woman’s methods to exterminating the pests‚ it rather is a poem that uses its speaker to stealthily showcase the potential that humans have for monstrous actions. The speaker‚ while appearing to be a sensible person turned deranged by the joyous feel of power and success‚ is a

"MOTHER TO SON" OF LANGSTON HUGHES "Mother to Son" of Langston Hughes is my favorite. What the mother in the poem tries to tell her son is that there will be many rough roads that he has to go by in his life but she hopes that he will not give and complete it like his mother.
