Answer and explanation:
"No Man is an Island", by John Donne, talks of how we are all a part of a larger whole. Every human being is connect, meaning that what happens to one of us affects all of us. No matter where they lived, if one man, woman, or child dies, we should mourn and feel for them, since they were a part of our community.
With that in mind, we can reach some conclusions as to how the poet most likely defines friendship. To Donne, friendship is about being present and empathetic towards others. It is the expression of our love and concern for others. Being a friend means accepting and understanding others, as well as helping them. It is embracing this beautiful connection we have with every human being. A true friend is someone who loves you as they love themselves.

Explanation:
Simon Singh's "The Code Book" presents a detailed account of the history of cryptography through the tracing of its evolution and how secrecy came to be. The idea of a secret code for messages is what intrigues everyone and thus, this book delves into the how of such coded messages.

Explanation:
The poem above shows freedom as something natural that exists in our world as a force of nature. However, like the forces of nature, freedom can have devastating and violent effects capable of suppressing those who oppose its objectives and purposes.
When freedom shows its strength and its fury, those who need it tend to be frightened and reject its performance. However, when freedom withdraws and its dominance and violence diminishes, the world goes into chaos and threatens its very existence, causing those who have rejected freedom to call for their action again.
Therefore, the poem shows how freedom is powerful, strong, influential and can have violent and devastating effects, but it is necessary and impossible to live without it.
