INTRO

     The poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes describes a mother providing valuable advice to her son. The main theme of the poem is to never give up hope and to keep pushing forward when life gets challenging.

BODY

    Presented throughout the text, the theme of the poem is to hold on to hope. The mother compares her life to stairs. Crystal stairs means that everything is perfect. The mother's life was not a crystal stair. She had many broken holes and tacks in her stairs. This symbolizes struggle in her life. She says that she never gave up. Eventually, she reached the top of the stairs. Thus she succeeded happily in life. If she had given up, she wouldn't be happy. She would always be discouraged, unsuccessful, etc. Since she kept trying, she succeed. Thus she can live her life in happiness. For example, Steve Jobs. Jobs was struggling to sell his products. Even though Jobs kept failing, he didn't stop. Eventually people started to buy his products. In fact his products became popular. His company became famous. Thus Steve Jobs became a legend. 

     The poem "Mother to Son" is similar and different to the quote by Bill Cosby. They both tell us to reach our goals. No matter what gets in our way, we have to keep trying. That is the only way to succeed. They are both different too. The quote tells us to dream big. To take the bigger stairs. The poem does not tell us to dream big. It tells us to finish whichever stairs we have chosen.

CONCLUSION
     All in all, the poem "Mother to Son" is about persistence. The quote and poem are both similar. They both express the theme of reaching our goals. They are both different too.  The quote tells us to achieve big goals. On the other hand, the poem tells us to finish whatever goal we have chosen.
