In the article “A Cyborg Manifesto” by Donna Haraway, a lot of different aspects were mentioned and then connected in some way or another. The points she analyzed were between feminism, socialism, and materialism. She broke them down into her main focus for the article and discussed the division between humans and animals along with organisms and machines. As you read more into the article, she begins to talk about how over time these divisions have become less noticeable. This is where she incorporates the “cyborg” which she explains it as an “organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction.” In other words, the cyborg is a metaphor to represent the progression between each boundary she talked about.

This article directly correlates with the mini essay we wrote because  it emphasizes the boundaries between human and nature.
