Grade 11 Students, 

This week we will be reading the poem "No Man is an Island" by John Donne. 

Again, after reading the poem please write a quick write reflection on the thoughts and feelings which this poem inspires in you. 

"No Man is an Island'

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 any manner of thy friends 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.
