Many people go through tough struggles in their lives, but no one really sees it, and most of the time no one really cares. The Rose That Grew From Concrete was written by Tupac Shakur. In this poem the author uses conflict, the characters, and mood to illustrate that just because something shouldn’t happen doesn’t mean that it won’t happen. In this story the main conflict is that the rose is growing out of a crack from the concrete. This is super hard to do and it rarely happens. The rose overcame the laws of nature and it grew out of a very rough place to grow. The conflict relates to the theme because it shows that you can come from a rough place and still end up being amazing character. The main character in this poem is a rose. The
story tells how the rose grows up in a rough spot. The main character, the rose, refers to people who grow up in rough neighborhoods. This literary element goes back to the theme because it shows that extraordinary people shouldn't be growing up in bad neighborhoods, however, that doesn’t always mean that they won’t. The last literary element that the poem talks about is mood. The mood of this poem is both brave and lonely. This means that sometimes the bravest people can be the loneliest people out there. The mood of the poem shows the theme, because many people believe that brave people shouldn’t be lonely, however, they often are. Tupac Shakur used conflict, the character, and mood to show others that just because something shouldn’t happen doesn’t mean that it won’t. Throughout the poem Shakur shows that the character, the rose, has a conflict, how it grew up, and she uses the mood to tie the whole poem together. The rose represents people who go through a rough time, but they push through and learn how to overcome their problems and end up being amazing.

We live in a world that is always changing and as such creates inequality and suffering. Many people feel the need to change this and hope for a better world. Even though people have different religions and beliefs, we all have some hope,which motivates us to wake up everyday and make a difference in this world. Hope is what brings us together to fight for a common cause. As Duncan-Andrade explains throughout his article, “Note to Educators: Hope Required When Growing Roses in Concrete,” it is not enough to hope for a better future, especially for young people of color because hoping will not bring the needed change we expect. “Growing Roses in Concrete”(Duncan-Andrade 5) is not an easy task because of the many circumstances and policies that create inequality in these schools and in the society as a whole. In urban schools in the United States, there is more disparately and inequality among young people of color and while educators have tried to solve such issues through different means, the problem still prevails and this has just created “false hope”. Duncan-Andrade states that th...
Another internal conflict is how Lilly feels responsible for her mother?s death. When she was four, she accidentally shot her mom, and wasn?t able to forgive herself. The reason she runs away in the first place is because her dad tells her that her mom left her, which is both an internal, and man versus man conflict. She?s mad at her dad for saying it, but can?t fully convince herself that it isn?t true. There?s a man versus society conflict when men beat up Rossaleen because of her color, and another internal conflict when May is so overcome with grief that she cant stop crying.
The central conflict of the story is the fact that two white adults had a baby that was black. This contributes to other conflicts of the story due to the fact that Armand, the husband, is a “white man” who completely despises the black race. Armand is a harsh slave owner that treats his men and women as if they are dirt on the bottom of his shoes. That

First, the poem “The Rose that Grew from concrete” uses Symbols and conflict to develop the theme of You have to rise above the obstacles. First, the author uses Symbols to develop the theme
One element that is different in each poem is theme. The main theme in A Rose That Grew from a Crack is strength and acceptance. Tupac uses his inner strength and learns to accept his differences. He takes a leap of faith and finds he "is proving nature wrong, it learned 2 walk without having feet." In this poem, he is comparing himself to the beautiful rose that grew even when others didn't believe in him. In If I Fail, the main theme is determination. Tupac is determined to overcome any obstacles that come his way. He has his mind set on success, saying, "I'll learn from my mistakes and try 2 achieve again." These poems display these two different themes through Tupac's artistic writing.
In Shelter, the author uses conflict to develop the theme of bad things happen to good people for odd reasons, but can be resolved eventually. For example, the author wrote about one of the main character’s best friends getting bullied about her weight, “As it came closer to Ema’s turn for teammates to carry her across the Poisoned Peanut Butter, I could actually feel her start to shake in fear.” After so many years of being bullied about this subject, Ema knew that the other kids would make fun of her during gym games. Another example is, Ashley went missing and the whole town was astonished by the sudden disappearance, “Ashley had simply vanished into thin air. “ Ashley appeared before as a pretty girl who hung out with the popular cheer
...ave begged for her son and grandchildren life instead of trying save her life. The type of literary element shown here is conflict. The type of conflict that is shown is man versus man because the grandmother is constantly trying to convince someone in doing something else. It also shows conflict because the grandmother was begging for her life, but at the end that did not work because she ended up getting killed either way.
I believe the conflict in the story is an internal one. I think it is the conflict between the old woman's will power and Mother Nature. She encounters many obstacles that would influence most people to give up but she has motivation to get her task done. These encounters include a bush catching onto her dress, a scarecrow frightening her and discouragement from a white man. She also had to climb hills, cross streams and crawl under barbed wire fences which is certainly not considered an easy task for an elderly woman.. If I was forced to deal with these obstacles I know that I would most likely have turned around but her will power was too strong to let Mother Nature win.

They both want to go back home, but it is impossible, so the best solution is wait until the storm stops, so they can continue their journey. As foreground is the conflict man against himself, but in this case herself. I am referring to the feminine character that first, is fighting with the fear and uncertainly of not knowing where her husband and son are. On the other hand, this
Conflict first arises when Blanche arrives at the Kowalski household and Stanley's authority over his home is questioned. Stanley has always had authority and control of his home and also his wife Stella. When Blanche arrives he feels that he is being invaded and doesn't agree with it. His "rat race" style of life doesn't match with Blanches but has somehow converted Stella. One of the main themes about conflict is that Stanley and Blanche are in a battle to win Stella and neither of them will give her up.
KDAY, this afternoon, was feeling Tupac like nobody’s business. Nothing but Tupac would do. Tupac after Tupac after Tupac, and I didn’t change it as I sat in the traffic — God, you think, how awful to be in a car with your thoughts, unable to move away from them! Don’t you just hate when cars and immobility converge! Doesn’t it get your goat almost as much as murder does! — wondering why I should take it so personally that a day spent in Los Angeles without hearing someone wonder why God would make a place so inhospitable to humanity is a day spent in the house not reading the internet or speaking with anyone at all. Why should I care? I live here and it feels as though it’s my hometown. It isn’t my hometown, not technically, but it seemed so happy to receive me that it became somehow mine. New York never loved me back as hard as Los An...
