“One person by himself s not a complete human being…” (p.6)
I believe what frye is trying to get the reader to grasp here is the concept of what makes a person a human being. |The idea of the world around us acually shaping us for who we are as humans is emphasized through Frye's analagy of the human alone on island. He does this to isolate a human from everything else and basically strip it down to just a bare human being that is not influenced by the world in which actually shapes us to who we are. I would definately agree with frye on this statement because i do esentially believe that if we were alone on an island with know sense of being able to communicate or work or create we would not really exist as what we refer to as "human beings" if you know what i mean.
