Most of the time authors use the poem for telling their problems and tensions. Also the author use the theme and literature to define their poems. The Poems that I chosen for comparing are Miss Rosie by author Lucile Clifton and Mother to Son by author Langston Hughes. Miss Rosie and Mother to son are alike but different in vernacular, author is life time & tone, metaphor, Theme and Genre, etc? .
The vernacular or native language that authors used in these two poems are kind of uneducated, in Miss Rosie author used the words of native language like (when I watch you wet brown bag of a women) {13}, and in poem of Mother to son author used the words of similar like educated (So boy, don't you turn back and don't you fall now__ ){14,17}. The differences in Miss Rosie is that telling us that how the life is changing (used to the best looking gal in Georgia) {14}. The differences in Mother to Son is that telling us about how life is hard and still you have to stand up (And life for me ain't been no crystal stair) {2,20}. .
Both authors life time are in 1900 century, they have same tones they wrote Fiction and poetry, both of them are African American, they both had tensions in their life, both of them was anger, and sad { pg# 231, 233}. They differences are that author Lucile Clifton born in 1936 and no one knows when she died and her tones was all of her works were generations is honest but rarely batter {pg 231}. And the other differences was author Langston Hughes born in 1902-1967 his all works were poetry and play in theater and he was in his life sad, positive and anger{ pg-233}. .
The metaphor in Miss Rosie and Mother to Son are also same which is describes Miss Rosie and Mother to Son. The metaphor that used for Miss Rosie is that (I watch you wrapped up like a garbage sitting, surrounding by the smell of too old potato peels {1-4}) So it explains her, In Mother to Son is that ( life for me ain't been no crystal stair) {2,20}.
