This leads to the theme of the poem‚ which is‚ you should care for what you already have and not get what everyone else has

    In the story “Who Can Replace Man?” by Brian Aldiss the author shows us a little bit of voice throughout the whole story. He is telling us his (or the narrator’s) feelings about human society. He makes some of these statements very clear and others not so much. I think the author thinks that humans are weak. He said‚ “He was small and wizened‚” (Aldiss‚ 149) He says that the human was small which usually means weak. I believe that the author thinks that the humans will not be responsible enough
