Brent Staples, who was a journalist for the New York Times and studied mental philosophy at the University of Chicago, shows the different subject positions in his published version of the book "Just Walk on By: A Black Man Ponders His Power to Alter Public Space” and his draft of “Just Walk on By.” Brent Staples wrote two different versions of the essay, but each essay's topic position is quite different for the reader. Furthermore, each subject's position describes the same situation quite differently illustrating each way of looking based on different perspectives. In his published version, he describes himself: “I was twenty-two years old, a graduate student newly arrived at the University of Chicago” (Staples 240). Furthermore, the published version says, “To her, the young black man – six feet tall with a beard and flowing hair, both hands stuffed in the pockets of a bulky military jacket – seemed menacingly close” (Staples 240). However, in another version, which is the draft of the essay before publication, he draws himself "I was wearing my dark blue pea jacket, collar turned up, hands tucked tightly in the pockets" ("Another Version" by Staples) . In another version of his essay, the location of the woman who fled after seeing the writer of this personal essay is not described. Without the writer's title and author, these two personal essays seem completely different to the reader, and each thematic position of these essays creates the same situation differently, which means that each perspective and way of looking creates two different essays. the essay is quite offensive, but the published version of the essay is entirely defensive. From the reader's perspective, these differences are quite clear
