Abstract
“The Boy and the Rose” is a case study of a gifted/talented student and his parents. The names of the family, as well as other people in the study, have been changed to protect their privacy. The facts in the study were gleaned as a result of perusing public and private records and the conducting of personal interviews by the author. In some instances, supposition and divination are used to fill in the gaps in the narrative. “The Boy and the Rose” has drawn upon the tradition and conventions of Southwestern folk tales such as “La Llorona” (“The Weeping Woman”) to shape its structure; with their themes of misplaced affection, unrequited love, and their resultant consequences, they echo this study.
