“So many wars, settling scores, bringing us promises, leaving us poor.” The previous quote, which was said by the musician K’NAAN, perfectly summarizes our society since you passed Mr. Twain. I write this letter to you with the purpose of agreeing and supporting your essay titled, “ The Lowest Animal.” I support your claim with the following three examples of, The Invasion of Vietnam by the United States, Apartheid in South Africa and Prejudice and Racism in the Modern- Day American society. Stated in your essay, you claim that Man is the only animal that organizes it’s wars. Man gathers it’s men and sheds the blood of the innocent.

America has become a country that is home to people who are native to different parts of the globe. In a country with that much diversity, one would not imagine prejudice and racism to be as prevalent as it is today. This issue cannot be circumvented but must be addressed. No matter the color of one’s skin, we are still human. Mr. Twain, in the U.S today, the KKK is still active along with white supremacist groups, that are out to hinder the progress of those that are not like them. This affects the nation because problems faced over 100 years ago are still present. Love of one another can help to resolve this problem. While we are not required to integrate and mix with one another, respecting another a fellow human’s difference rather than showing hate towards it will triumph this hate we
