What character traits would you associate with the first one and second one . ( The cold within )(poem).
Answers
Explanation:
The first person in the poem The Cold Within was a White woman. She “held hers back/ For, of the faces round the fire,/ She noticed one was black.” This is indicative enough of the racial hatred of the White woman for the black man. She was simply prejudiced over colour of people.
The next man was a bigot. This is clear from his hatred for a man who was “not of his church”. That was the reason why he “could not bring himself to give/ The fire his stick of birch.” This is bigotry, intolerance of opinions other than him.
Answer:
The first person who is a woman is prejudiced when she notices that one of the faces around the fire is black. She, therefore, hold her log back. The next man is a bigot who on seeing that one of the men in the group does not belong to the same church (i.e religion community) as his. This fact prevents himself from using his log to renew the fire.
