No Man is An Island


This picture shows that were all connected and we are all equal no matter gender,religion,nationality. We are all united as a group, and that we should respect one another and treat everyone with dignity. The text indicates that we should not abandon man on a island, and this picture shows the solution to that problem.



The similar themes from the text John Donne's writing to Greder's book on the Islands is that both the text and the book relate to isolation is the sens that the man was left on the island and the text shows that no man should ever be abandoned.Also I strongly believe that the meaning of No Man Is An Island is that no man should be abandoned like an island in the book it shows how the man is just sitting there naked suggesting that he was abandoned but as the people of the island were about to send him back on his raft the fisherman came and exclaimed "that we should except him into the island and not isolate him".



The text from the book provides Prejudice as when they first meet the man they jump to the opinion of sending him back on his raft straight away which is a negative point. Also when he is accepted into the village, the local people treat him like a slave fencing him inside a shed from the outside world relating to text of John Donne's saying that No Man should be an Island and be locked away in the dark where you cant be seen.


People make distinctions between us them because in my opinion they want to feel supreme, in the book it states that they said he was different from us indicating that he had no similarities between them,when clearly he was the same without education,food,shelter etc.. Us and them are just two words that people use to describe how much power they have over another being
that's is the only distinction that represents the two, Strongly I believe that everyone is equal in there own way.
