Should Tupac be a topic in High School? High school students should study Tupac because he is a great poet. Tupac states, “The rose that grew from concrete” In that poem Tupac is saying, through the cracks of concrete is a rose growing. “Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned 2 walk without moving feet. Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams it learned 2 breathe fresh air.” Tupac is the rose, both Tupac and the rose come from a place that means nothing to society and making a good life out of it. 

Tupac’s major thing growing up was he couldn't fit in because he was from everywhere. I think that some students can relate to Tupac's childhood, especially the ones who move from place to place and school to school. Because of the new environment students can have a hard time fitting in because they don't know anyone. Not only was fitting in a problem for Tupac but also an absent father and his mothers drug use. Some students may or may not have these problems but the ones who do can be able to relate to Tupac and sometimes kids need someone who they can relate to, whether it's a song, a poem, a person or thing. 

When talking about Tupac's death the first thing that comes to people's mind is “he was shot” or “he's gone” I don't think people would take the time to look into his death like reading articles, books, and even listening to podcasts. I think that learning about Tupac's death can show some interest to high school students because some students like Tupac, or they heard of him, or don’t even know who that is. I think the interesting parts would be the theories that were made, like putting the blame on Suge Knight. In the article it states, “Theorists believe Shakur was ready to leave the label to start his own, and so Knight orchestrated his murder that night in Las Vegas, a claim that he has strongly denied.” 

Therefore, high school students should study about Tupac because he is a great poet, maybe students can relate to his childhood, and his murder can be something that is interesting to students.
