After doing this chart, I've decided that I want to go to school for a Dental Hygienist. This is because it is a good, solid job that has a good demand. They make decent money and I could live comfortably. ** Donne and Simon Comparison Essay ** Although “Meditation 17” and “I Am a Rock” were written many centuries apart, they still have many similarities, as well as differences. John Donne wrote “Meditation 17” in 1624 and then many years later in 1960 Paul Simon wrote “I Am a Rock.” Both John Donne and Paul Simon discuss how mankind relates with one another. Donne is saying how we are all one, while Simon tells how he wants nothing to do with anyone. The tones of these to works are similar. They are both are somber, sad, and gloomy. In “Meditation 17” Donne uses the words “darkness” and “illness” to show the tone. In “I Am a Rock” Simon wrote “I have no need for friendship” and described the day as “a winter’s day in a deep dark December.” The figurative meanings in “Mediation 17” and “I Am a Rock” are similar as well. They both use bells and islands, but their meanings are different. In “I Am a Rock,” Simon says “A rock feels no pain, an island never cries,” to show that he is strong and has no pain. Donne says “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main,” to portray the idea that we are all one together and a solid unit.
