Smith's Biography concentrates on Burns the man. A Man's A Man For A' That, one of his greatest short poems basically means we are all the same. Wherever you come from, whatever your background, whether you are rich or poor - we are all human beings. Life is not about the cloth you wear, or the fine things you own, but about being a decent, honest, fair-minded person. Smith shows that, for all his fame, Burns was just that.
