Choose a poem from The Rose That Grew From Concrete. Identify the themes. Use the topical invention strategies discussed in class to develop: analogies, consequences, definitions and testimony--at least one per type.

Next, use the 3-Part Thesis format to develop at least three thesis sentences.

If your poem is digitized, you can include it as a part of the freewrite. If not, give the name and we can find it in the book. Tomorrow you will take your freewrite and develop it into a 3-paragraph essay.

Start Section 7 in SPHE. Bring the Guy book to class. I asked the bookstore manager to purchase 10 copies of the Guy book for students who didn't get it at the beginning of the semester.

Sometimes I Cry pg. 7

In the poem "Sometimes I Cry" a major theme is abandonment. Tupac discusses how he feels alone and that he has no one there to listen to him. Another theme could be the lack of love or compassion Tupac feels from other people in his life.

I chose the poem "Sometimes I Cry". this poem shows a lot of rejection. He expresses his feelings of being left all alone and feeling like no one is there for him and to support him. A potential theme can be the absence of affection.

The Poem called"Sometimes I cry reflects on the way Tupac felt when no one would hear him out not help him out. For example like his fam was never much support to him.
