Our Goals Today (1 min) By the end of class, you will be able to: Analyze extended metaphor in “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes. Practice with a group to analyze metaphors in two additional poems.

Before Reading Langston Hughes as a baby and as a student at Lincoln University

Before Reading Segregation in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s

Before Reading Political and social movements during the 1920s

Before Reading Art and Culture during the Harlem Renaissance!

Part 1: Class Analysis Before Reading: Literary device pop quiz What is an EXTENDED METAPHOR?

Part 1: Class Analysis An extended metaphor is a comparison between two things that does not use “like” or “as” that is carried through the ENTIRE poem. Authors use metaphors to help readers more deeply understand a topic, item, or feeling by presenting a comparison that gives the topic or item new meaning.

Part 1: Class Analysis Reading Process: We will read the entire poem as a class. We will analyze the first lines as a class. Groups will analyze lines from the poem and share their analyses. We will annotate the poem as a class. You will determine the meaning of the entire poem on your own.

Mother to Son By Langston Hughes Well, son, I’ll tell you: Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare. But all the time I’se been a-climbin’ on, And reachin’ landin’s, And turnin’ corners, And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light. So boy, don’t you turn back. Don’t you set down on the steps ’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard. Don’t you fall now— For I’se still goin’, honey, I’se still climbin’, And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. Mother to Son By Langston Hughes

Part 1: Class Analysis List THREE words you associate with crystal: What are stairs used for? HINT: In literature, HEIGHT is something that is associated with GAINING KNOWLEDGE, HAVING WISDOM/EXPERIENCE, OR BEING SUPERIOR OR SUPREME. What might the crystal stair be a metaphor for?

Part 2: Group Analysis With your group, discuss the question you have been assigned and write down your answer. Who is the narrator of this poem? To whom is she speaking? What do the “tacks” and “splinters” and “torn up boards” represent in the narrator’s life? What does the narrator mean when she says she has been “climbin on” and “reachin landin’s” and “goin in the dark when there ain’t been no light”? Who is the boy? What does the narrator mean when she says he shouldn’t sit down? What does the narrator mean when she says she is “still climbin”? Why does Langston Hughes have the mother speak like this? What is he trying to show about her?

Part 3: Independent Analysis Your turn! Exit Question: What is the overall meaning or theme of this poem? Remember: SYNTHESIZE the meaning of each line to determine the meaning/message of the poem as a whole. Consider the CONTEXT of this poem and make connections to your background knowledge!

Part 3: Group Analysis Your turn! Move into your triplet groups. As a group, analyze the TWO poems on the back of your worksheet. Make sure you spend enough time on each poem to truly understand the meaning—these WILL be graded!
