Wealth and poverty inn the 21st century can be viewed as very similar or completly different. During Sait Francis's time, a wealth person would be someone who possibly owned book, had servents and was possibly a lord over a village of people and served more as a town mayor than a single wealthy individual. In the 21st century, anyone can be wealthy, and it does not require a blood line to inherit land and power. A wealthy person today canoften be found with materialistic things rather than inherited traits. A weathy person now will probably be able to afford plane tickets to any place that he or she wants to travel. Drive a luxory car like a Mercedes Benz, or spend money on entertainment like font row seats at sporting events. A similarity between wealthy people could be that they both ate well and wore nice clothing.
Poor people on the other hand are very similar today, they both struggle with maitaining their health, finding ways to pay for food and often are immigrants or victems of opression from a more powerful person or people.
Interesting comparisons. pje
