Question

After you read 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 I'se been a-climbin' on, 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 hard. Don't you fall now— For I'se still goin', honey, I'se still climbin', And life for me ain't been no crystal stair. Which theme is mostly expressed in the poem?

Answer 1

The answer is A. If I can do it, so can you basically. The man is basically explaining how hard his life is yet he still went on, this is seen in “I’se still climbin’, and life for me ain’t been no crystal stair” and many other sentences within the paragraph.
