Read the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes. Keeping in mind the figurative meaning of the staircase, what does the speaker

mean by “I’se still climbin’”?
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.


Not getting ahead


Painful hardships


Giving Up


Persevering

Which one of these excerpts from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi best shows that the story is told in first person?
trasher [3.6K]

The correct answer is B) I first wanted to be a cabin boy, so that I could come out with a white apron on and a shake a tablecloth over the side, where all my comrades could see me.

The excerpt from Mark Twain's "Life on the Mississippi" that best shows that the story is told in first person is "I first wanted to be a cabin boy, so that I could come out with a white apron on and a shake a tablecloth over the side, where all my comrades could see me."

Mark Twain wrote his memoirs when he lived in the Mississippi working as a steamboat pilot, before enrolling in the Confederate Army, and his travelings across the river from New Orleans to St. Louis, Missouri. The book was called "Life on the Mississippi," and was written in 1883. The book is about his memoirs, that is why it's written in first person.

The other options of the question were A) Ten minutes later the steamer is underway again, with no flag in the jack-staff and no black smoke issuing from the chimneys. C) then such as scramble as there is to get aboard and to get ashore and to take in freight and to discharge freight. D) Assemble there, the people fasten their eyes upon the coming boat as upon a wonder they are seeing for the first time.
