Assertion Analysis #3

Tupac Aumir Shakur a legend always and forever in music history and also American history faced many obstacles throughout his life as he was growing up in the toughest and roughest of neighborhoods defending himself from irresistible temptation and facing a person he loved the most fighting an addiction and losing for the most part (His Mother) all this to prove to any doubters that beauty can arise from anywhere as he is the embodiment  of  "The Rose who grew from Concrete".

The rose symbolizes the potential in each and everyone and that greatness can bloom even in the most difficult and un-ideal situations. Tupac's career is the embodiment of the rose that grew from concrete as concrete may symbolize the parks and floors he had to sleep on or the pallets he had to share. Roses are the sign of love and forgiveness the rose that grew from concrete is the kid who grew up in the roughest and toughest situations but still wasn't influenced by all the hate surrounding them there desire to love to forgive and to succeed acted as sunlight and water for the rose to bloom.

This poem is so special because it aids to our discussion about the "American Dream" and that it is obtainable by anyone who wants it bad enough. Tupac's movement paved the way for young lost kids to express themselves and instead of dying to societies stereotypes and remaining a seed they could try to venture out and bloom into something amazing. Tupac's main goal from my view is to protect young "Brothas and sistas" from becoming a negative product of there enviorment as the concrete displays the lack of the lack of a father, the lack of clothes' the lack of food, the lack of a home, the lack of being able to be a kid thats the role concrete plays its solid and every now and then you get a crack and through that crack is where greatness has the oppurtunity to bloom.

In conclusion, Tupac's poem displays the potential of less fortunate children in poverty and drug abused neighborhoods  to bloom into something totally opposite of what there enviorment displays. Roses thorns can be a defense against the concrete so for one to bloom you need someone to believe and protect you Tupac's well known mother protected him from the concrete thus giving him enough space to bloom we all can't succeed by ourselves we need someone to sacrifice so we can seek and find the right things to bloom Tupac is the gardener for ghetto to success pipelines.
