How will Rose decide?
What would you do if you were in Rose’s place? Would you keep the sentimental heirloom left to you by your beloved grandma, or would you give it up for financial reasons? Perhaps you would use it to pay off your student loans or to pay off a house.
Or would you keep it and hang it behind your bed in your student dorm, as Rose intended? Rose never knew she was sitting on a fortune, and that makes her reaction priceless: she wanted to continue preserving the painting and eventually pass it on to her children. Now it was indeed a real treasure.
