Rose By Irish Rose Summary

Decent Essays
In my opinion, Rose seems to believe is the role of education in our society is to help people grow into productive, and sucessfiul citizens. Who are not only sucessful for themselves and their family, but contribute to making their commmunity a better place. Rose specificly says what he thinks the goals of public education should be when he said, "what school ought to be about: the full sweep of growth and development, for both individuals and for a democratic society."(Ros­e)
I think the main concern that Rose was expressing was the way the public thinks and speaks of public schools. The public almost always speaks negatively about all public schools, often not taking into consideration that there are some very good schools and teachers out

    Psychological Illnesses Having a clinical psychological illness is not uncommon- whether it was one hundred years ago, or in the present today. Many people go through traumas, horrifying experiences, or crippling deaths of a loved one every day, and a lot of the time, it leaves a grave scar on a person, changing their outlook on everything in life. Ophelia, in Shakespeare's famous play Hamlet, goes through awfully painful experiences in a short period of time, causing her to spiral into the deep darkness of depression and clinical schizophrenia. The two illnesses, being one of the most drastically encapsulating disorders, unfortunately bring Ophelia to her calamitous death in act four. Parallel to Ophelia’s illnesses, a character named Dino in the novel Wild Roses by Deb Caletti succumbs to the same symptoms, yet the causes of his diseases are quite different.…
