No Man Is An Island
By John DonneNo 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.
Questions to think about:
What do you think the island and continent in the poem is supposed to represent?
Using this poem as reference, how do you believe that people face death?
