Answer 1

Explanation:

The Cold Within’ by James Patrick Kinney is a beautiful poem that talks about the human passivity that holds one back from helping others. The cold is not outside but in the hearts that Kinney thought is the sole cause of all the human sufferings. Moreover, the ironic representation of the story along with the use of rhyming lines heightens the satirical effect in the poem. The story-like pattern of the poem no doubt appears like a parable that is meant for spreading the message of compassion and sacrifice for the sake of keeping the lamp of humanity bright.
