“Hymn to God My God‚ in My Sickness” by John Donne‚ is a poem with a theme of seeing death as a friend. The poem contains biblical allusions; and Donne uses many poetic literary qualities such as symbolism‚ metaphor‚ and rhyme scheme.

Lessons From God How does a person find their true self? Do they find it through their friends and family; or do they just expect to know?

The difference in “The odyssey” and “Iliad” is the level of interference of the gods. In the novel “Iliad”‚ the gods were more actively involved in the affairs of mortals than they were in the Odyssey.
