Symbolizes

The mother holding the son to her head and the image when the women is going up the stairs is the best visual representation of the poem Mother to Son by Langstan Hayhes. This is shown throughout the poem. The first image I said represent the poem shows the love the mother have for her son. It shows how she cares for him by the way she is holding him. Also it  shows their bond and shows how the mother cares for him by the way she is holding him. The second image represent the mother never giving up. Even though her life was rough she kept going even when she was tired. The image looks like the lady walking up the stairs want to give up or fall down. It also looks like is painful and the stairs is rough. Just as in the poem when the mother when through splinters in things she kept climbing. That picture shows how she want her son to be, never giving up. That is why I choose those two photos to symbolize the poem Mother to Show.
