Eboo Patel made a point on about the Norman Rockwell painting that freedom of worship should exist. He used a Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem to support his idea that everyone has different religious background and no one should ever interfere other’s religious practice or culture. When his Jewish friend was in trouble, he found out that he couldn’t interfere with the problems and sufferings his friend was suffering. He knew that all he could do is to prevent the same problem from happening others. After I took a little research on the Norman Rockwell’s painting, it’s kind of hard for me to imagine these pictures in my mind because I don’t really believe in any certain religion. But after I put together the description Eboo Patel made and the picture, I could easily felt and understand how people who believed in religion felt about that painting. I find the quote that Gwendolyn Brooks had is sometimes true, but not all the time. We help our friends, families, and others, but when it really comes down to individual performance, it’s when others can not help you. You have to work hard on your own and no one would really care if you didn’t do a good job on it.
