No one is similar to one –another. We were born to be who we are, different and distinct among each-other. Comparing humans is like entering in a hole, where everything you “see” is nothing and trying to find a difference is really hard. We, humans are both similar and dissimilar to each-other so it is a simple thing to say that the human beings have a complex nature, which make them difficult to be “studied”. Wide known writers have treated in their writings, objective and subjective facts in order to try and understand human being. One of these thoughtful writers is Mark Twain, who satirizes human characteristics by showing and emphasizing that humans are the Lowest Animals and as so, alone in their distinction. Even thought Twain …show more content…
This means that we can distinguish, we can protect, we can learn and evolve.
In page 3, last paragraph mentioning historical facts in which humans have been part of shows that we are not stuck in ourselves. The history demonstrates this, we have been developing since many years ago, when we were thought to have generated from some far ancestors as
Twain states in page 4 paragraph 6.Twain claims that humans come from many years ago, but he skips the fact that our ability to change during the years is a development. If we choose to be evil that makes as different but not alone. We know what we are doing and we do what we choose to do, so this is a development on its own. The ability to perceive and learn is not the only thing that distinct us from animals, we own the Moral Sense, which is thought to lead us toward wrongness when in fact it enables us consciousness.
One of Twains weakest points is generalization as I said also before, because he fails to see both sides of the medal. In page four, paragraph five Twain claims that Moral Sense enables us to

“No heaven has been offered him wherein his one sole superiority was provided with a chance to enjoy itself “states Twain. If ‘heaven’ as Twain stated has not valued as for the intelligence we possess, we, humans, are the ones who have and should value and use this intelligence.
”Man is alone in his distinction” recalls many times Twain and indeed that is true. We are alone because it is humans' mind that has developed everything to what it is today.
In the last paragraph is also stated that even though we are intellectually superior we are not as important as we think we are, when in fact it is not about how important we think we are, it is about being able to develop and change, to distinguish good or bad. At least this is what we have done all this years and Twain fails to mention this fact. We are distinct and the one in our kind, but this does not make it easy to encounter us in
