Nelson almost feels a sense of security with this woman and this greatly disturbs Mr. Head. Polarization occurs without any effort for Mr. Head and Nelson. Once again black is referred to as strange and the opposite of what was normal. As they travel home there are opposite images that occur that showed the differences had dissolved between Nelson and Mr. Head. The use of opposites is blatantly obvious and shows how once these two are out of the city they are also out of darkness.
Polarization is a natural thing for people of our society to experience.
Polarization will always occur when looking at black and white. There have been so many racial issues that society will always polarize the two and show try to represent that one is better than the other. Until prejudice and racial issues disappear polarization will be a part of every day life and it will occur naturally without even a second thought. Works Cited O Conner, Flannery.
