Mike Rose's 'Lives On The Boundary'

In Mike Rose’s “Lives on the Boundary” he describes the lives of two students outside of the classroom. The first student he talked about was Marita, who was accused of plagiarism by her English professor on her first writing assignment. Mike Rose, her counselor, then talks about the circumstances in how she plagiarized when she did not mean to. The next student, Lucia, who was a nontraditional type of student. Mike Rose talks about the many different things that have to come into place for her to be able to come to class. Mike Rose shows that not every student is the same, many of them have some sort of disadvantage that they need to overcome and some of them will require assistance in order to do so, but many times they do not get the help
