BLM - Reaction My personal reaction to the book titled‚ “Black Like Me” written by John Howard Griffin is as followed. At first I was amazed and shocked to know that this study was taken in the southern parts of the United States‚ not many years ago.

Porphyria’s Lover Speaker Point of View Who is the speaker‚ can she or he read minds‚ and‚ more importantly‚ can we trust her or him? The speaker of "Porphyria’s Lover" sounds awfully straightforward. His tone is incredibly reasonable‚ which makes it even creepier considering he’s describing horrific things (such as strangling his girlfriend and cuddling with the corpse).
