Poem Short Analyses

The Red Wheelbarrow
By William Carlos Williams

Even though there are only eight lines in the whole poem, it still conveys a big message. The wheelbarrow in the poem is a symbol for many things that happen in our everyday lives. The wheelbarrow does not have that many actions and is not used for many things, but it is crucial for the farmer to do what he needs to do. The poem itself does not have that much else to it, only four stanzas, not much of a tone, no rhyme scheme, but it still has a message.


Mother to Son
By Langston Hughes

The main message of this poem is to show how hard it is to be a mother. The verbs used are showing what a mother has to go through everyday. The staircase is a symbol to show how it's hard for the mother to walk up and down, or how to support her child with the obstacles that stand in her way. The G's are cut off from many words, there is no rhyme scheme, no stanzas, and the tone of the voice can be determined as more raised than the average person speaking.


I, Too
By Langston Hughes

There is a big message that Langston shows in this poem. At the time grew up in a world where people did not treat him with the upmost respect due to his race. The words, "I, too",show that he will also do what the other people normal do on an average day. The words, "darker brother" means even though he is black, he is still an American, still a human. The message is mainly to show that no matter who he is, he is still an American and should. be treated as one. There are five stanzas, each containing metaphors equally meaning the same thing. The tone is more front and forward than a regular person. There is no rhyme scheme, but he does use the word "I" repetitively to convey his message even more.
