I went to http://www.memories-book.co.uk/blog/essays-on-wuthering-heights/ prevailed different styles of essays laughing When I wrote about being unnerved by that encounter, how it was the first time in New Orleans I'd felt afraid, a persistent critic of this column, a black man, cited it as proof of my hypocrisy. He said it proved I was just as afraid of black folks as everybody else. Except, the stranger who approached me in the dark was white. And my heart didn't pound any less hard because he was.
