Give examples of 2 specific words from the poem "No Man Is An Island", by John Donne, that are meant to be understood metaphoric

ally. What is the figurative meaning?
"No Man Is An Island"

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 lesse,
as well as if a Promontory were, as well as if a Manor
Of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death
Diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind;
And therefore never send to know for whom the
Bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

This answer is just how I interpret it, the rest is - of course - up to you. The figurative meanings I can't quite guess, but I'll give you what I can make out.

Word 1: Promontory 
Word 2: Diminishes 

Promontory, Meaning: <em>Promontory </em>means a high piece of land such as a cliff or overhang on a mountain. 

Diminishes, Meaning: <em>Diminishes </em>means to slowly fade away and vanish. His figurative meaning using <em>diminishes </em>here: '...Diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind;...'. 'Diminishes me...' Means he's fading away metaphorically, not physically.

Can u explain in a paragraph, how the movie of Pinnochio shows the importance of honesty.
vodka [1.7K]
The movie, Pinocchio, shows the importance of honesty because their are two sorts of lies. Lies that have short legs are those that carry you a little distance but cannot outrun the truth and the consequences always catch up with the person who lied, and l<span>ies that have long noses are those that are obvious to everyone except the person who told the lie, which make the person who told the lie look ridiculous. Basically there's always a way for others to know if someone has been lying.</span>
