Test Essay Question

 I believe that the tone of Women was suppose to be more towards the thankful, warm hearted letter from a daughter. The author has grew up a tough life, her mom had to work alot and she could not see her alot. While that was all going on, she knew that her mom was working all the time for her and for her to get an education so that she could grow up and get a decent job. The poem's diction shows alot for her attitude towards the subject. Especially at the last six sentences, she was stating how she knows that her mother is working for her education. She is also saying throughout the whole poem that her mom was like an army general. That showed that her mom had leadership in her eyes and she admired that she had such strong opinions.
