- Eboo Patel's purpose for mentioning the Norman Rockwell painting was to emphasize the ideas of a group of people living in peace with its diversity, but does not explore it and breaks the balance. This means that there are no such things such as people from one group insulting another group or having fights between each other. The diverse groups live peacefully with each other.
- Eboo Patel uses a quote from Gwendolyn Brooks' quote, "We are each other's business; we are each other's harvest; we are each other's magnitude and bond", to show several important ideas. The first idea is that friends and families should support each other because they are an important part of a person's life, and the second idea is that by showing their support for that person, the person who is having difficulties will encouraged and this will help the person overcome his or her obstacle.
- To me, the Norman Rockwell painting means that people can live together peacefully and accept each other's differences and opinions. This is important to me because sometimes people do not accept my differences and opinions, and it makes me really upset. I also agree with Gwendolyn Brooks quote from the poem. If our friends and family don't support us, who will?

Each Other's Business
In the article "We Are Each Other's Business", Eboo Patel illustrates his ideas with references to art and literature. What point does he make about the Norman Rockwell painting? How does he use a Gwendolyn Brooks poem to support his ideas? Do a Google search for these two works and see what they mean to you.
