Solution

This poem had a very clear message conveys the message of the dangers, and even the futility, of discrimination and racism.The poet touches on how each of the people around the fire died because of the “Cold Within,” and because of their inability to accept each other. He wants to suggest to all humans to avoid prejudice as it would only bring one down and potentially cause our downfall. Discrimination cannot bring good, only the doom that awaited each of the unnamed characters in “The Cold Within.”
