First Writing Assignment

We read "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" by Tupac Shakur.  Write an essay of a page and a half responding to the following questions:
1) What is the poem about?  What does it mean?
2) How do you personally relate to this poem?  Is it true in your own life?  In what way?

This assignment is due, completed and in your folder, by the end of the week.  If you were not in class, it is still required of you, and you are still responsible for having it in your folder.
