i'm not doing that context, but yeah, relating it to martin luther king, etc im sure would be great.  OUr teacher encouraged us to relate it to things outside the box of our texts.   

oh anyone read todays paper with the neo-nazi. how disgusting that in this day and age people still uphold those beliefs . and there is still conflict,

i did find his photo somewhat amusing however. ha ha ha . big gun, nazi tattoo, muscle shirt and red lippy. haha . and the glasses.

Shouldn't want you relate it to, also have to be relevant to the prompt?

Today I did a prompt (for Identity and Belonging) that said:

"In the modern world, there are obstacles to maintaining personal independence."

Doesn't this prompt invite you to focus on relevant issues and ideas rather than historical?
I would only talk about historical issues if it was as a sort of like giving a background history as to where this context came from.

Eg. Maintaining personal independence has been a challenge for individuals for centuries. (Insert name here) exemplifies this etc....
The lead into modern day things.

Well that prompt is just a special case, and in general, yes bringing in Martin Luther King would be a great idea...PROVIDED YOU SOMEHOW MAINTAIN A LINK TO YOUR TEXTS.

Hmm, is it unadvisable to write say 1 paragraph on each text and two on current or historical events?

Or rather, is there any reason not to get high marks for writing half on the texts and half on 'general society'?
