Mike RoseA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
Why does Rose include so much of his life story and personal experience in Lives on the Boundary? How does including this kind of detail help him prove the book’s central argument about the American education system and its effect on marginalized students?
