       At first i thought this poem was about a former slave because the mother is saying "its had tracks and splinters and boarders torn up, and places with no carpet on the floor" since slaves slept in cabins with wooden floors i thought she was a slave. But then i finished reading the poem and it said (1922) and i know that is the time of the great depresion so i realised what the poem was really about.
