This week in class, we’re reading “The Rose That Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur.
In Tupac Shakur’s “The Rose That Grew from Concrete,” the speaker describes a flower that grew in an unlikely place.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
“How does a person overcome adversity?” and “Can we control our fate?”
