The poem “Mother to son” is a creative poem that shows a resilient tone. Resilient is shown in many ways. For example, the mother says “It’s had tacks in it/ and splinters, and boards torn up.” This shows how it’s been hard for the mom throughout her life but, she also says, “ For I’se still goin’, honey, I’se still climbin.” This highlights the resilient in the poem by not giving up when life was tough, and staying strong through the week points in her life. To sum up, the poem shows resistance when life is demanding in someone's life.
