ESSAY ON: Sense of Community in 2 Short Stories

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that contrasts and compares two short stories that deal with the relationship between communities and individuals, "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker and "No Name Woman" by Maxine Hong Kingston. The writer argues that Kingston's story is concerned with a broad perspective that shows how a sense of community is defined by the actions of the people who make up that particular community. Walker, on the other hand, is concerned with a narrower perspective, the community at its smallest increment -- the family, as a carrier of culture. No additional sources are cited.
