SC+Mother+To+Son

The purpose of Mother to Son, by Langston Hughes, is that mostly ever mother wants to see her child to achieve goals in life. An ordinary mother spends her parenthood praising her son to go in the right footsteps in like, by taking chances and not being be frightened by what the world has to offer. Langston Hughes was trying to get a message across that a mother shows love and the commitment for her son by the knowledge she discovers on him through the case of her own life, similar to when the author of the poem (Langston Hughes), uses the example by climbing up a case of stairs. The guidance that is used within the poem is that life can be difficult at times, full of hard obstacles that you have to overcome and keep moving along, but one should keep thriving forwards, they should not turn back and settle down, because anyone could take a break, or a bend, and keep moving.
