Prompt #2: What does the individual owe the community? And vice versa?

Since our current essay focuses partly on the relationships between individuals and communities, I thought it would be useful to examine some particular examples. Below, you will find links to two readings. Please choose one of them and respond to the prompt in your blog.

Martin Luther King: Letter From Birmingham Jail

Maxine Hong Kingston: No Name Woman

You may wish to print these out, as the typeface--especially in the second link--is rather small.
Also, please remember to respond to at least one of your classmate's entries as well, as this will help foster discussion.

Answers to this prompt and classmate comments are due by 10pm Friday, January 26th.
