Parent Guide > No Man Is An Island
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "No Man Is An Island" by John Donne.
In "No Man Is an Island," the speaker explains the interconnectedness of all humankind.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Community, Death, and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
