Week 11

We started week 11 with a collaborative activity about a paper by John Donne

(From: Meditation XVII)

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 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.

Rocio and me did an analysis about the poem, and all the implications of it. We though that the mean message is that we all are connected, we need us and all together made "the all" .We think that if people follow the "Donne's philosophy" consequences of this, will be positives because you will stop assume that you are in competence with the others, you will help them. As example be eco-friendly is think in the others, not only the humans also animals.

 I really like this activity but I discover that it is hard to me express in a more deep context as the analysis of this text. 

On Wednesday we watched "Boy" after a voting for our favorite. The movie was set on New Zealand in 1983 and talk about the Alamein, a kid who after lost his mother, he take care of his 5 brothers and sisters. I liked the movie and can discover how is their English pronunciation.
