The Rose Bush

For my essay I am going to write about the rose bush and how it is the glimpse of hope throughout the book.  At the beggining of the book the rose book is by the prison door and is a glimpse of hope while the prison door represents society crushing people.  Later in the book the ides of the rose bush comes up again when pearl cries for a red rose at the governers mansion.  Then at the end of the book the rose bush idea comes up once again when pearl is the happy ending of the story.
