In the poem "The Rose that Grew in Concrete" we can see that the author wants to present the idea of something delicate and fragile growing through something that is solid and hard and also that unexpected things can happen.
We can see this when the author uses "from a crack in the concrete?" - which proves that people didn't believe the fact that a rose grew in concrete and "Proving that nature's law is wrong" - which also brings the idea that it is unexpected and mistaken.
By using personification the author explores again the idea of illusion and dreams "but by keeping its dreams" as if the rose was dreaming.

In the poem "The Rose that Grew from Concrete" by Tupac Shakur, the author explores how even the most beautiful and kind people come from the hardest and ugly backgrounds and are overlooked by society by relating it to his own experiences.
The language choices made by the author cause the reader to understand the message of the poem. In this case, a rose growing from concrete is already a juxtaposition since it contrasts something fragile and lovely growing from a rigid and unsightly environment. "It learned to breathe fresh air" is personifying the rose and attributing qualities to something who cannot "learn" to do anything. The rose symbolizes these people, and the concrete is all of the obstacles they had to endure throughout their life, almost holding them down.
The idea of this poem is further emphasized when the writer argues that even though people that came from these environments were neglected by society and belittled as to believe they could never reach their goals and objectives, they persisted. "...but by keeping its dreams/, it learned to breathe fresh air" shows that because they decided to believe in themselves, they were able to get out of that life and begin a new one where their past didn't weigh them down.

“The Rose that grew from Concrete” explores the idea that the modern society is expected to follow a set of rules and laws, as proven in “nature's law is wrong it”. The author also supports this theme with another smaller message, “by keeping its dreams, / it learned to breathe fresh air”, besides the almost impossible thing that a plant can live surrounded in a complete urban environment. These verses are to emphasize that you are the one who chooses their own starting point. Finally, the final verse of the poem, “when no one else ever cared” demonstrates that society has accepted and no longer is expected to act differently.

Ultimately, this poem’s main message is that “you” are independent and have the ability to decide the place to start.

The poem "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" makes a general point about how society underdogs, overcome challenges, achieve and succeed, however, society won't praise them for it, because no accomplishment they ever make, will be important enough for society to care.
We can characterize the rose, for example, as women, or as the author, Tupac, suggests, the Afro-American youth.
Roses usually represent love, hope, and courage, while the concrete represents the difficulties people overcome in their lives; the alliteration "crack in the concrete" emphasizes that, as the rose bloomed and grew, it overcame challenges, those set by society.
In juxtaposition, the rose can also represent betrayal, as the rose is personified, "learned to walk with out having feet.", making the impossible, possible, but, as society underdogs, "no one else ever cared.", emphasizing, the rose's capacity of symbolizing loss of hope.
Overall, the poem reminds the reader that you will only be recognized by society, once you are relevant to it.
