Question

8. What were the prejudices in the minds of the poor man and the rich man(cold within)​

Answer 1

In Kinney's poem 'The Cold Within' the poor has prejudice against the rich. He thinks that the rich are idle and he should not use his log to warm the idle rich. Again, the rich man is similarly prejudiced against the poor. He thinks that the poor are lazy and shiftless.

Answer 2

Answer:

The poor decided not to warm the rich as he concidered the rich to be idle as they totally thrive on the poor. They concider themselves as supreme and sit idle in a place and make the poor do work as observed by the poor man.

The rich thought that poor people do not work hard.They feel that they are shiftless because their condition and wealth does not change or improve.Therefore he didn't put his log in the fire because he wanted to keep his earnings from the lazy, shiftless poor.
