MOTHER TO SON
James Mercer Langston Hughes was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist from Joplin, Missouri.

Mother to son (1)
The document provides a biography of Langston Hughes and background information on his poem "Mother to Son". It discusses that Hughes was born in 1902 in Missouri and was raised by his grandmother after his parents divorced. As a young man, he began writing poetry and contributed to the artistic movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. The poem "Mother to Son" is written as a message from a mother to her son about the challenges of life. It uses the metaphor of a crystal stair to represent an easy life and discusses obstacles like tacks and splinters on the stair to symbolize hardships.

He promises they will experience pleasures in the countryside, such as watching shepherds by rivers and listening to birds singing.

To Build A Fire
The document provides discussion questions and topics about Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire". It asks the reader to think about what items they would want if alone in -50 degree Celsius temperatures in the Yukon Territory. Students are assigned to research topics like the author, the Yukon setting, frostbite, hypothermia, wilderness survival, and snow travel to present their findings to the class.
Sentence Vs. Fragment
A complete sentence requires a subject, a predicate, and a complete thought that can stand alone. A sentence fragment is incomplete because it is missing a subject, verb, or both, or does not express a complete thought on its own. Dependent clauses are fragments that have a subject and verb but do not express a complete thought independently and need to be combined with an independent clause to form a complete sentence. Providing additional context or information can fix sentence fragments by making the thought complete.
Sound of devices in poetry
This document defines and provides examples of various sound devices used in poetry, including rhythm, meter, scansion, feet, rhyme, assonance, and consonance. Rhythm refers to the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. Meter is the organization of these patterns into regular lines. Rhyme involves the repetition of similar sounds, often at the end of lines. Assonance and consonance refer to the repetition of vowel and consonant sounds within words. Examples are provided to illustrate how poets use these sound devices to reinforce meaning and create emotional responses in readers.
The anglo saxon age
Here are some words that look familiar to today's English language:
- "word" - word
- "manna" - men
- "folces" - folk/people
- "gearo" - ready/prepared
- "wæron" - were
- "fæhðe" - feud/conflict
So some core vocabulary like words for people, king, ready, were, conflict have remained relatively unchanged over the centuries since Old English. The spelling and some letter sounds have evolved but the meaning remains similar.

The theme of pursuing one's dreams, even in the face of adversity, remains relevant today.

Mother to Son by Langston Hughes
- 1. Mother to Son Langston Hughes
- 2. 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,
- 3. And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare. But all the time I’se been a-climbin’ on, And reachin’ landin’s,
- 4. And turnin’ corners, And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light. So boy, don’t you turn back.
- 5. ’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.
