"Mother to Son'' by Langston Hughes

   

     The theme of "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes is that you have to keep going in life even when it gets hard. The poem says, for example, "So boy, don't you turn your back./ Don't you set down on the steps/ 'Cause you find it's kinder hard." This quote shows that, when life get's hard that you have to keep going and fight on. It says that even if you don't want to keep going, you have to. If you don't then you won't get anywhere in life, and will never accomplish anything. 

     For the 15 Day Challenge I have been very successful and have only missed one day. I only missed that day because I was volunteering the Ronald McDonald House in Chicago. Other than that day I have been very successful because I write everyday. Now I am writing  about how the main character lives after the catastrophe. Sometimes I almost forget until the very last minute.
