Which did you find more persuasive, “Letter to His Son” by Robert E. Lee or “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes? Why? As you answer, consider which piece was easier for you to understand, which piece gave stronger reasons and evidence, which piece drew your attention more toward an image, and which piece inspired you more.

Question

I believe that Hughes' "Mother to Son" was more persuasive because she is explaining that times are hard, and life is not perfect. She refers to her own experiences to encourage her son. The stairs are a GREAT metaphor-or is it simile?- and it really shows compassion that she has for her son's hard times. 
Best of Luck my friend.
