         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery occurred in the text, where it says "It's had tacks in it, and splinters, and boards torn up, and places with no carpet on the floor--bare." This is imagery because there is details about the stairway. They want us to imagine this in our head and picture it. Therefore, this is why this is a sign of imagery.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The form of imagery present in Mother to son by Langston Hughes is imagery, the text states, “<strong>And sometimes goin’ in the dark</strong></div><div><strong>Where there ain’t been no light.</strong></div><div><strong>So boy, don’t you turn back.” This shows imagery because I can picture this image in my mind because I know how it feels in the dark alone it’s scary because you have no light and you can’t see what you are doing but never turn back because even though it’s scary people should not be afraid people should overcome their fears in the dark without light. Overcoming your fears in the dark alone and make you a better person because that’s shows that you are bold and brave. The emotion the reader is supposed to feel after reading the line is feeling the same way the author feels like being alone in the dark without light, or cutting yourself with paper by accident. So the reader is probably feeling good because that’s a sign of not giving up and learning your lesson. Therefore, this is a sign of imagery.</strong></div><div><strong><br></strong><br></div>]]></description>

It’s had tacks in it,<br>And splinters,<br>And boards torn up,<br>And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare.” The type of imagery being demonstrated in this piece of evidence is tactical imagery (touch) because you are able to feel the splinters and tacks pain . An emotion a reader should feel after reading the line is fear just because we wouldn’t want to feel any pain even if we’re actually not.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The form of imagery present in Mother to Son by Langston Hughes is present when the text states "<strong><br>Don’t you set down on the steps ’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.</strong></div><div><strong>Don’t you fall now— For I’se still goin’, honey." </strong>This is imagery because the mom wants to let the son know that even if there are hard stuff and it looks hard to keep going. To not stop and leave everything behind and instead carry it and show that you are strong in brave. In life you will go through stuff that will make you want to end stuff and not continue. But like the mom said&nbsp; "Don't you fall now" keep going follow your dreams everything is possible. It's imagery since you know that the mom has been through obstacles and wants you to go through them but not to give up but to continue. And the stuff she went through to get where she is now. Therefore, this is a sign of imagery</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>the form of imagery showed in Mother to Son by Langston Hughes when the text states, "<strong><br>Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up,</strong></div><div><strong>And places with no carpet on the floor—Bare." </strong>The imagery is that the mother wants to tell her son that life isn't easy. There will always be many problems in life. Also the words in the text for example tacks, splinters, torn up board all represent the pain and issue the mother had to go through in her life. Also the the words " no crystal stair" can impact the reader because people can relate that life isn't all beauty and games.&nbsp;Therefore this shows the form of imagery that life is difficult for every person. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery is present in "Mother To Son" by Langston Hughes. In the poem Mother To Son by Langston Hughes in lines 2-6 it states, "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." The type of imagery being demonstrated in this piece of evidence is tactical imagery because we can feel the tacks and the pain. An emotion that a reader should feel after reading these lines is fear and pain because we don't want to feel any pain like that. There is also a metaphor that was used to compare the mothers life to a staircase. This can encourage the reader to keep moving up even though things are tough at the moment. The mother gave her life example of her struggles to show how difficult it was.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes it states, "Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up". This form of imagery helps us to understand that life is not easy to "climb" or simple enough that you can see through and navigate it with ease and helps the reader understand that life is not a clear cut path set in stone and that life is a complicated and difficult thing to navigate through.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>the poem, "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes states, "<strong><br>And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light, So boy, don’t you turn back." </strong>this is visual imagery because the author made the reader imagine a dark room. sometimes 'dark' and 'no light' is used in writing to demonstrate difficulty or&nbsp;hopelessness but eventually, if you keep going you'll find the light, the author is telling the reader not to give up and turn back but to keep on going. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes there is an example of imagery. In lines 3-7 is states, "<strong>It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare." </strong>This line present imagery because when reading the section you can picture how the stairs the mother had been on weren't pretty and clean. The stairs were broken and dangerous. When reading this line you would feel a negative mood where the line at the end of the tunnel was dim but there. The descriptions of the line help create a image of a unkept stairway. It helps contribute to the message the mother was trying to convey to her son. She used the fact the if a person were to walk up the stairs she had gone through, it would have been very painful for it was bare with many splinters. She uses the stair the express to her son that life wasn't easy like the crystal stairs, it was hard and difficult like the broken bare stairs.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes, imagery is present within the poem. The imagery is present when the mother says "<strong>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.". One can imagine how hard her life must have been, she explains it wasn't easy and didn't have the fortune of growing up with money or privilege like others.&nbsp; One can infer she lived either in poverty or poor conditions as she says "boards torn up [...] no carpet on the floor". She also explains how life was hard for her, as she goes into detail saying "<br>And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light." Meaning she had to suffer through such dark times where she had no one to rely on, where she was alone, and suffering. However yet the imagery shows despite all the suffering she had to go through she's still standing. With this it ensures the reader to have sympathy for the mother, as no one should have to face a life full of hardships.</strong></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery is present in "Mother To Son" by Langston Hughes. Lines 2-6 of this poem "Mother to Son" state that, "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—" The form of imagery shown in these lines is "see"/sight because you are able to see how challenging it was for the mother when she had said these things to her son, the reader is able to imagine what these different things looked like that make readers know how hard life was for her as she explained to her son. The form of imagery allows readers to see a visual in their mind of exactly what life looked like for her, as it has not been a "crystal stair" which makes it easy to think about how her life was not a clear path, and life is complicated. We can see these concepts happening and sensing it through these lines, which is how imagery was shown and effective here. The emotion the reader is supposed to feel after reading these lines is that the reader can feel sympathy/sadness and even relate to the mom because she described her challenges through things that make you visualize pain. The reader can also feel honor/motivational as the mother describes the different challenges in this life that won't ever be perfect, but to not let this bring you down and give up. The son's mother explained in a visualizing way what makes life complicated for her, making the reader feel bad yet honor the way she made the reader imagine the matter of not giving up even when everything looks like it is falling apart. Overall, this poem can have an impact on the reader as he or she would feel the emotion of sympathy yet honor or motivational as the mother wants her son to strive for the best as she did too even when her past was tough, which is inspirational.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The form of imagery that is evident in the poem "Mother to son" by Langston Hughes is illustrated in the text when he states "I’se been a-climbin’ on, And reachin’ landin’s,</div><div>And turnin’ corners, And sometimes goin’ in the dark. Where there ain’t been no light." The form of imagery demonstrated is sight and touch as in the texts the words explain and elaborate on feeling and observation. This allows the reader to deeply feel and experience the exhaustion and struggle that the mother is explaining to her son about life. The evidence for sight also gives the reader insight to visualize and to envision her life and hardships through our own eyes. This imagery makes the reader see and feel the story and her life's adversities to be able to infer and conclude things about the poem. The reader is supposed to feel sympathy after being able to visualize and feel the mothers pain, the reader should be able to relate to any hardship they have ever experienced. The reader may also feel encouraged or motivated to keep going through tough times and not to give up because it gets better and may not feel alone about their pain and difficult life as everyone goes through things. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

"Life for me ain't been no crystal stair./It's got tacks in it,/And splinters,/And boards ripped up,/And places with no carpet on the floor—" "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—" And you can see how difficult it was for the mother when she said t, the imagery used in these lines is "see"/sight. Since the reader can see how difficult it was for the mother as she explained these things to her children, the reader can imagine what these various things looked like, allowing them to understand how difficult life was for her. Since her life has not been a "crystal stair," the form of imagery helps readers to see a mental picture of what it was like for her.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery present in "mother to son" by Langston is "life for me ain't been no crystal stair". That means that the mother has had a rough life and also that she hasn't had a easy life like she's giving her son. Also she probably wants to give her a son a better life than she had and so she is telling her son that life isn't easy and that her life wasn't easy so she's tryna express to her son that life is gonna get hard and her's was very hard. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery that can be present in Langston Hughes' "Mother to Son". In Lines 18-20, it states, " For I’s still goin’, honey, I’s still climbin’, And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair". Imagery can be shown with the term "climbin" and "crystal stair". When you think about climbin, you will most likely think of a ladder climbin on somewhere high in order to achieve your goal. In this case, the mother is trying to reach a goal as well. Adding on, when it says crystal stair, you think about a stair that is super nice and elegant made out of crystals that wont cause injury or problems. What the mother is trying to say is that life isn't easy for most people and what looks like a beautiful life can only be achieved through long determined work.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When watching and listening to the video of the poem, "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes, imagery is used. In the the text, lines 8-10 states, " For I’se still goin’, honey, I’se still climbin’, And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair". This textual evidence proves that the author is using imagery because he includes human like things like climbing and compares it to never stop fighting till you reach your goalThese three lines support that a mother is giving advice to a son. The mother is telling the son that life is not easy, and you will face some challenges to the point where you want to stop fighting. But you can never stop fighting because you will be giving up on yourself, but you have to continue to fight that fight.</div><div><strong><br></strong><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

This also concludes on how to not stop and continue on and learn from the past to show that you are humble and strong. In times of your life you may experience hardships but you just need to be strong enough to actually believe you will achieve what you want. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Jason dudnauth&nbsp;<br><br><br>The form of imagery shown is when he says “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—“. The imagery I got from this quote was that no matter what route on life you are on you may be going turning from here and there not finding what you want but don’t give up keep going keep finding till you find you may be walking more into dark finding nothing but one day you will find the light and what you been looking for so don’t give up till you find it keep searching, and the emotion the reader will feel reading these lines is motivational emotions you may cry or feel sad reading it but it’s to determine you to not give up and get until you get it&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery that is present in "Mother To Son" by Langston Hughes, is in lines 9-13. As it says, “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.”&nbsp; This form of imagery is sight/touch because the mother talks about going into the dark where there is no light, Also, the mother speaks about how a graceful escape is impossible to happen. This is a form of sensory imagery because I feel&nbsp;the mother’s pain, I feel her current and past situations. When she’s talking to her son she talks about how impossible things were, and she explains it to him in a way where people can be touched by her experiences. The mother explains how her life isn’t perfect by telling her son where she has been and what she has seen. Briefly, This is a form of sensory imagery because the mother expresses her feelings through sight and touch, she tells her pain through how she has walked and what she has seen in her life.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

To not stop and quit but to get up and fight and push its shows that your not a quitter but a winner. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

These concepts may be seen and sensed through these lines, which is how imagery was exhibited and successful in this case.</div>]]></description>

This to me brought my attention because usually you cant do anything in the dark, but this gives motivation that you can be useful and you can do the impossible with no light. It also explains that it wont be easy, it will be hard and that is actually life.</strong></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

In other words, she is saying that no matter how hard things get don’t you ever give up. This really stands out to me and it’s like a piece of advice,</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery that is shown in the poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes is when the poem says "I’se been a-climbin’ on, And reachin’ landin’s,</div><div>And turnin’ corners, And sometimes goin’ in the dark. Where there ain’t been no light." This is a form of imagery because it is painting an image in your head so that you can better understand the scenario the author is trying to put you in.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery that is being presented is in 3-6. In the poem "Mother to son" it states "’its had tacks in it,<br>And splinters,<br>And boards torn up,<br>And places with no carpet on the floor—<br>Bare.<br>This is a form of imagery because we can see how the way it was described it feels like you feel the splinters and you feel the pain.&nbsp;<br>So we can also see or imagine a place with no carpet and walking barefoot. So these lines show a form of imagery by imagining to see or feel what a person saw or felt. Therefore we can see how all of those points are being shown in those lines in the poem, I can feel like I am walking on splinters and I can imagine how it feels. I can also imagine myself walking on a carpet barefoot. So this is a form of imagery. ~Stacey G <br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the poem, "Mother To Son," by Langston Hughes a form of imagery is presented to us. In lines 2-7 of the poem it states, "<strong><br>Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up,</strong></div><div><strong>And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare." </strong>This quote shows imagery because with the words, "tacks in it," "splinters," "boards torn up," we can visualize what the mother is talking about and the challenges she had to over come. When reading these sets of lines the reader is supposed to reflect on her hardships growing up and to feel her pain in the words she in writing.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A form of imagery in the poem “Mother to Son” By Langston Hughes is shown in lines 12 and 13. Where it states, “And sometimes goin’ in the dark/Where there ain’t been no light.” This shows imagery because of the idea that the struggle or difficulty is the darkness and the relief or the positivity is the light.&nbsp;This is an example of imagery because this line explained something using visual language and that relayed a message that the reader could understand clearly. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When listening to this poem, I imagine a mother conversing with her son in a worn down apartment. This is mostly shown in the line “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.” This quote shows visual imagery. The reader is supposed to feel pity and compassion towards the family because they have to live such a poor life.</div>]]></description>
