Exercises

I.Answer the following questions.

1. Why did the woman quicken her steps after she saw the author behind her? Because it seemed to her that the author who was a young black man, was too menacingly close to her and made her feel nervous.

2. What does “language of fear” mean in Line 31?

It means the way in which people express their fear. In most cases, it is not a verbal expression, but an action such as hammering down the door locks of the car, crossing to the other side of the street rather than passing the author in a deserted street.

3. Why was the author not conscious of the threat he posed to pedestrians before he was 22?

Because in the place where he grew up, there were a lot of gang warfare, street knifings, and murders, and he was not one of the bad boys.

4. How does the author feel about his being mistaken for a criminal?
