This week in class, we’re reading "One Perfect Rose" by Dorothy Parker.
In "One Perfect Rose," a speaker shares their feelings about receiving a stereotypical single rose.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Comedy & Tragedy and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
