Short Story #219: The 1000000 Bank Note by Mark Twain
Title: The 1000000 Bank Note
Author: Mark Twain
Summary

Reflection
There's much I like about this story but most importantly is Twain's point that wealth makes wealth. That is, the easier life and abundant opportunity afforded to the protagonist comes with the idea that he is rich, even though he is anything but. That well further manifests more wealth while the poor are left with less in general to fight over and seen as suspect instead of being given the benefit of the doubt is a key point to this tale that still has much relevance to today's world, over 125 years later.Short Story #219 out of 365
