Mother to Son
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
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
And places with no carpet on the floor-
Bare.
But all the time
l'se been a-climbin
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
Don't you fall now -
For l'se still goin'
l'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair
Question: The tone of the poem is A. Pitiful and discouraging B. Dark and foreboding C. Calm and meditative D. Earnest and passionate

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
