We live in a world that destroys all bridges that lead to other people. Hemingway explains it at the end of the book. "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 promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were."

Joseph Gabaldon only justifies feeling like we need to be islands out of a sense of self-protection, but he doesn't advocate staying that way. He encourages us to build bridges... to reach out and help people, to spread love and make contact with others.

How is island use in the essay each man is an island?

In Joseph Galdon's essay Each Man is an Island, the island is a symbol of separation from the community, as each person tries to protect him or herself. We tear the bridges down and only connect to close friends and family, but not to each other as a larger community or as a world. The island delineates the limits of our love. In some ways it is selfishness, and in others it is a need for self-protection, hiding behind walls where others cannot hurt us. What Galdon tries to get across is that we have to risk and allow ourselves to be vulnerable to be fulfilled. We have to reach out to others and love them and help them... we need that contact as much as others need our help.


What is the summary of Each Man is an Island?

In "Each Man is an Island, Father Joseph A. Galdon points out that people are individuals and must build bridges as connections to others to live a better life. He conveys that selfishness can destroy love, and that all people should walk in love toward others. Love is not something to be kept and must be given, unlike material things. Galdon points out that giving love vocally is not as effective as showing love in the things you do for others. In other words, actions speak louder than words.
