Question

Read these stanzas from the poem "A Poet and His Song" by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Both poems encourage endurance through hardships.

Explanation:

The similarity between the poem "A Poet and His Song" by Paul Laurence and "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes is that both poems express the need to prevail in any difficult situation, always working hard for it.

In both poems the authors show how other people have more opportunities than them. In "A Poet and His Song" the author says: "I work hard, and toil and sweat,  While others dream within the dell;" and in " Mother to Son ":" I'm still climbing, And life for me ain't been in the crystal stair. ". However, although things have not been easy for them, they have always been working hard and continued, facing any problem that has come their way.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

Both poems encourage endurance through hardships. In both poems, the message would be "keep going," or "carry on." A person should not give up in the face of struggles; instead, one must endure.
