The Rose That Grew From Concrete

I think understanding Tupac’s life experience through his poetry may be important for lawyers. I feel this way because it provides readers with the opportunity to gain valuable insight not only on Tupac himself but also on other Black young boys/men who may share a similar perspective to him. Now I am not saying that all Black boys/men who grow up in an urban environment share the same experience, but taking the time to try to understand Tupac's perspective will offer insight into the socioeconomic disadvantage that he experienced - which is a more universal comparison to others in his situation. Tupac's poetry provides readers with the opportunity to read, understand and reflect on the material in a way that is not wrapped up in heavy academic language that makes it hard to fully understand the point; but that doesn't mean you won't have to read the poetry multiple times to get the layered understanding. The only reason I would say that Tupac's poetry may not be important for lawyers is that generalizations may occur or it may lead to a confirmation basis depending on the reader.

But as a whole, I think that "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" is an important reading that would benefit lawyers, who are willing to learn.
