Life As We Know It

Shelly Gale

Two pieces of writing brought together by polar thoughts on the same subject. The tones and attitudes expressed in Donne’s “Meditation 17” and Simon’s “I am a Rock” are very different. They both speak of the human emotions that pertain to the original quote “No man is an island”. The themes of these two pieces also speak on the authors opposing viewpoints.
An author’s tone or attitude is one of the most important elements in their writing. John Donne sets up his writing with a solemnity about it. He makes it very solid and structured with a great deal of metaphors. Even though Donne’s work is solemn it is still positive. Donne’s belief in a god brings him through death, affliction and tribulation and uses these elements to bring him closer to his god. Donne is able to have a strong statement even if you do not agree with him and he is convincing in his arguments. Simon’s work, on the other hand, is exceedingly jaded. His attitude towards life is one of protection. He speaks of blocking himself from the world in an attempt to keep him from being injured. Simon’s words seem to be as strong as Donne’s yet his own words betray his true feelings. He states, “If I never loved, I never would have cried”. In his words are a pain that brings forth a fake strength. He states that his feelings died and he doesn’t care to revive them, leading one to believe that he has given up, unlike Donne who has full faith in the world.
The themes of Meditation are ones of death and trials and how these things bring you strength. The theme that all things can benefit human kind and that every loss is a great loss are heavily present in this piece. The theme that a god can save all things if you work to grow and turn to him is another theme. Simon’s themes are ones of self-reliance. He states that he is a rock, an island, that nothing touches him and he touches no one. Yet he is a contradiction in himself. How does one protect themselves with books and poetry when they are not connected with humanity? Books and poetry come from the human race; they are the essence of human emotions. He also states that he is “safe within his womb” which brings up the other point that he was born of a woman. He cannot be completely cut away from humanity because humanity is his past. No one can escape from their past no matter how hard they try because we are all affected by the events in our lives. This is evident when Simon says “of the feelings that have died” because he is saying that they were once alive. He was not always a “rock” or and “island” something made him change to become one, something in the world affected his life thus linking him forever with humanity.
“Meditation” and “I am a Rock” are very different pieces of work and yet they capitalize on the emotions that we have all felt before. Everyone has felt that there is something out there that we can rely on and everyone has felt that they stand-alone. Even though one might not agree with what these two authors are saying everyone has felt this way, which makes these pieces relevant to today. To borrow a few words, we all are a bundle of contradictions.

Oil industrialization and wilderness clearly don't mix. In the Prudhoe Bay area of Alaska, there have been more than 400 oil and toxic chemical spills each year since development began more than two decades ago. Oil development in the NPR-A would bring hundreds of miles of roads and pipelines, leading to dozens of oil fields, air pollution, and the constant presence of helicopters, cargo planes, dump trucks and bulldozers.

Over the last 50 years, the Tongass National Forest has experienced an onslaught of industrial clearcutting. Nearly 500,000 acres of coastal temperate rainforest in the Tongass have been leveled by chainsaws. More than 5,000 miles of roads in the Tongass have left a legacy of landslides, impaired spawning streams, and fragmented wildlife habitat. In the absence of the 2000 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which would have protected many of the wild areas of the Tongass, timber sales are currently advancing in 29 roadless areas.

400 spills annually on the North Slope since 1995

Studies find:
28 years after an initial spill there were still substantial hydrocarbons in the soil and little vegetation recovery

Studies by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game indicate that female caribou in contact with North Slope oil activities experience a decline in productivity. 5 Caribou herds consistently demonstrate a 3-4 kilometer avoidance of pipelines, roads and other facilities.

1. If you could have one thing in the world but could never see any your family and friends ever again what would you want?

2. If you could meet any person in the world, dead or alive, who would it be?

3. Would you sacrifice yourself to save a good friend?

4. If life was a circus what character would you be and why?

5. You are swimming in the depths of the ocean; what do you see?


Erin


1. Everything in the world is going to be destroyed except for food, water and yourself, you can pick one more thing to be saved with you, what would it be?

2. What is your favorite thing in nature?

3. You have to kill one child in the world in order to save all the millions of others that will die, how do you do it?

4. If it was not unlawful to go without clothing in the warm weather would you go naked and why?

5. Life is a bowl of cherries. Yes or no?

1. if i died, and in my will, i wanted you to preserve my head in a jar and keep it with you till you died, would you do it?
the sad fact is yes, yes i would your head with me until i died. i have this sad belief that last wishes should be carried out. I would not keep it in a visible place and it would probably be locked up because i would be afraid it would come alive but i would keep it.

2. if you could give me one thing, whta would it be?
all the love in the world

3. if i could give you one thing, what would you want?
friendship forever, to see you find happiness

4. what do you look for when you look into someone's eyes and why?
i look for their soul and feelings. i believe that the eyes are the window to the soul, a persons soul is extremly important to me because i need to know who they are, not all of the time, just some of the time.

5. if there was a mass murder, and you were the only survior, and everyone thought you killed all those people and the only way to clear you name would be to kill the real killer, wuld you do it?
i would not kill the mass murderer to keep my name clear but i would kill the mass murderer to stop more murders

you know what a scary thought is? that you will never truly know yourself until you go through some really big hardship and even then, if you are not open to the idea of change, you might never see the real you hiding inside
