The Mother and Son Relationship

Todays lesson was on 2 poems "Son to Mother" and "Mother to Son". In "Son to Mother" it discusses how society feels towards a mother about her raising her son. The son doesnt allow them to speak badly about his mother and wish to take matters into his own hands. He then ask his mother what do you want me to do before i decide. In "Mother to Son" the mother tells her son that her life has not been a crystal stair. Meaning all the best and golden as you wish. Even though it hasnt been perfect she didnt allow that to stop her for striving more. She informs her son to not give up and to continue to move forward. After reading we discussed and took notes on the 2 poems. Then we got our assignment of writing 2 claims about both poems for the mother and son. Then one literary device about the poems. Finally a letter to our mother of what we would like to say or ask her.
