Final Exam
This is going to be my last and final essay. And with that, I will try to make this essay less boring than my old ones. I’m going to talk about the affects of fear on individuals. I believe, even if you’re the strongest or bravest, you still have fear. I also believe that the smallest situations can cause fear, which then will stop someone from doing something. I also believe that fear can cause someone to be crazy/insane. Too prove this, I will explain it by giving and showing examples from Lord of The Flies, Anne Frank, and a movie I watched.
Firstly, I said that if you’re the strongest, it doesn’t mean you’re not afraid. I believe this is true because an example I remember from reading Lord of the Flies, Jack, was resembled as the strong and brave one, but when the night they thought they saw the beast, Jack was afraid. He told the other boys to kill the beast first, and joined in later when he knows that the beast was defeated. This prove that Jack is not as strong as people thought he was, and even if he did look strong and not afraid, but that night showed the viewers another side of Jack. The scared, terrified little boy, who needs others to protect him. After that night, he had someone with him at all time, during haunting was the same; he would take tow three other boys with him. I cannot remember reading and part of the story when Jack was ever alone. Then I remembered when I was young and was afraid of nearly everything, I had always someone with me, and that is what Jack is doing, feeling scared and needing for protection. If he weren’t afraid he would be the one who killed the beast first. And would be haunting alone in the forest. Looks or personality shouldn’t be the only thing people should judge upon others.
Secondly, the smallest thing can cause fear. Yes, I believe this too. In Anne Frank, when Anne was in the concentration camp, she had to obey everything the Nazis told her to do, if not she’d be beaten up or killed. Not only Anne feared them but the rest. And because of this great fear everyone has, they can’t stand up for themselves and fight for their rights. If they weren’t scared, they wouldn’t be in the concentration camp, but at home because someone had stand up for them, fight for their rights. But again, The Nazis knew they were afraid, the Jewish would do nothing that would not be acceptable of them. An individual, at this point cares for it self, and not the ones around them. They think that someone will stand up for them, and make this nightmare stop.
Watching the movie, the last scene where Anne’s sister Margot, died, the ladies, were stealing clothes shoes from her. They fear of dying before this war ends, so they take advantage from others. However, fear has taken control of them, for so long, that it’s too late to turn back and fix the situation.
And talking about fear taking control over someone, this leads to my third and last statement. I recently watched a scary movie about a girl who died. No one knows the cause of her death. Some said someone murdered her, but can’t find the murderer, and some said that she killed her self, but can’t find an explanation for it because she was always bright and cheerful. As I mentioned before that looks or personality shouldn’t be the only thing people should judge upon others, because in this situation, people didn’t believe her cause she’s smart. And probably making the whole thing up, and after her death, people couldn’t find out what caused it, cause she was always bright and happy.
The cause of why she died was that, she killed herself. The cause of that was fear. A Satan haunted her, no one believed her. The Satan haunted her night and day. She became insane, laughing and talking to her self. Then one night, fear has taken control over her, she killed her self. She wouldn’t have died if someone believed her, and helped her, instead of making up stupid conclusion that may not be true.
In conclusion, fear is the strongest emotion people could face, because it’s in all of us. There’s not one day that you could never fear of anything. Being happy and sad are different, there are days you’re happy and sad, but you will fear everyday, and it can be cause by big or small things, imagined or true.
Take me for instance; I get scared of the smallest things, such as not hanging in my homework. I get so scared if the teacher would scream at me or will call/ mail my parents about me. Then when they do, I fear that when I go home them will get mad at me. And when they do get mad at me, I feat what would be my punishment.
Fear can cause death, worse deaths then when your sad, because someone will know you’re sad, they will help you, but in far, they don’t know or wont believe you, and because of that, you die, without anyone helping you or who cared about you.
I’m not saying if this was true or not, but if someone feared of ghost, demons, and saw one, people should help them because many deaths are caused by fear, it is still going on right now, but many a bigger percentage of the whole have stopped believing in beast, demons, or there’s something inside of the darkness. Parents make little kids not believe in them, but they should encourage them that there is, just don’t be afraid of it.
This way, it will help their fear to overcome by them knowing that those demons are there, but they wont do anything to you, because you’re the one who will end up killing your strength and yourself
