anwser these questions about “No Man is an Island” by John Donne
poem below
No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent,A part of the main.

if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were

any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

1. Donne clearly believes in the interconnectedness of humankind. In what ways does our
modern society reflect this idea? Explain. \

2. 3. Today, do most people generally believe that one man’s death diminishes them? Why
or why not? Explain.

The meaning of this great quotation is that no person in this world can survive alone as all of us need a community or a group of people to enjoy a better life.

There are a lot of examples which can prove the quotation, “no man is an island”, is true and here are a few of those examples:

When you live alone, no matter whether you buy a house or you rent a house, you will have to clean the apartment, make your food and do other maintenance works yourself. However, if you are living with a group of people, let’s take your family, then you don’t need to worry about the cleanliness and maintenance points as all of them would get taken care of your family members. Or if you live with your friends, you wouldn’t have to worry about cleaning your house daily, as your friends can also help you to clean it.

Socialization has become really important nowadays because at some instance of our lives, we get the need of various kinds of people and during that time, if we haven’t socialized, we won’t get any help. However, if you have met enough persons and made enough friends, then you know that no matter what, somebody will always stand by you.

People don’t get to know about it but living with parents or other family members create huge inner peace for us that we cannot get while living alone. A lonely person can think of some unusual instances and dreams that cannot get fulfilled but still we get depressed about not following those dreams. If the same would have happened when we are living with someone, then they would have made us understood that it was just a dream and we should move ahead in our lives.
