I would say, based on the rose topic, if you called a rose a pineapple, it is still a rose, and it will still smell like a rose. You can take a person and call them something other than what they are, but they are still that person. Labels aren't defining who a person is, let alone what they are like. You'll need some more ideas for the essay but here is a start :) Good luck
