Read the following passage from Zora Neale Hurston's "How It Feels to be

Colored Me":
The position of my white neighbor is much more difficult.
No brown specter pulls up a chair beside me when I sit
down to eat. No dark ghost thrusts its leg against mine in
bed. The
game of keeping what one has is never so
exciting as the
game
of
getting.

A. Synesthesia
B. Paradox
