Elements Of Fear Like A Fire In A Forest

At first she uses imagery to display the prejudice faced by her daughter, showing how the bully “slanted his eyes at her beautiful daughter”, displaying the prejudice faced by Japanese Canadians. Kogawa also uses the imagery to show the fear that the speaker had to endure in her past, from the “big white boys . . . crowding [her] off the path of the mountain” to fearing “woodticks which burrowed into your scalp”. While the speaker is in the forest, Kogawa’s use of imagery shifts from showing fear to showing how she felt lost in the forest as she “listen[s] for the guiding sound of their laughter” to direct her back to the path. In her childhood the speaker faced many prejudices and had to deal with racism, which instilled a sense of fear and lostness at an early age deep in the speaker’s mind. Kogawa’s use of vivid imagery effectively develops the emotions of fear felt by the speaker at a young age and the racism faced, and what the speaker’s daughter is beginning to be exposed

Fear is a feeling created in a response to a perceived danger. Fear can produce pleasure, heighten awareness, be in the form of phobia, a fear of the unknown and an instinctual response to danger.

One of the many emotions attached to All the Light We Cannot See is fear. From the very beginning of the novel readers were able to identify this in events such as, Marie’s early years of being blind. As the story continued, fear was a huge factor in the war, and even after the conflicts, fear still took over the remaining characters. Especially in Werner’s younger sister, Jutta, who lived to carry a son and marry a man. Fear was particularly present when Jutta is in a train with her son and a man joins them. Her reaction was “he sits beside her and lights a cigarette. Jutta clutches her bag between her knees; she is certain that he was wounded in the war, that he will try to start a conversation, that het deficient French will betray her.

A gloomy mood is shown through phrases like “warping clapboards,” “decayed stumps,” and “failing flame.” Finally, a violent mood is shown through the phrases “terrified beyond the power to cry out,” “deranged,” and “dreadfully lacerated.” The theme of the story is that you must stay alert to protect yourself and others.

Arthur Miller wrote “The Crucible” in 1952 and about forty years later explained his purpose in an article titled “Why I Wrote the Crucible.” Miller expresses some of the emotions he went through as his book gained popularity saying, “I remember those years...but I have lost the dead weight of the fear I had then. Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth.” At first, he refers to fear as dead weight as if it was useless but still pulling him down but then he explains the importance of fear. He claimed that fear can warp our judgement which seems realistic because when people are in a situation the causes fear they are known to take out of the ordinary action. Miller also suggests that fear is a crucial part of our memory and without fear our memories can fade and the truth of the issue as well. Miller was likely fearful of the

“The Gift Of Fear,” a psychology book written by Gavin De Becker, is an extremely useful and informative read. It gives valuable advice about how to act upon human intuition, how to recognize threats, and defines what real fear is and it’s purpose. I found the book to be extremely interesting. This book provided me with a sense of understanding on violence and fear and I feel much better prepared when it comes to recognizing dangerous situations.

This contributes to the story’s theme because this quote shows how the theme of the story is fearful, and sad. The author uses descriptive words like “howl”, “batter the tarpaper walls”, these words give a sense of sadness, and fright. “The world was a maelstrom of darkness and wind.”(page 12) This quote shows Stephen’s view on the world, and how he doesn’t see the world in a positive, bright way. He sees the world negatively, and without any hope. “The wind had fallen somewhat, but it was still raw enough to lacerate Stephen’s temples. The cold gnawed at his legs and forced watery mucus from his nostrils.” (page 4) This quote talks about how nature keeps hurting him, and it keeps in him pain. It shows how harsh and mean natue is to Stephen. These quote contribute to the theme because these quotes resemble darkness, fear, and sadness which is the main theme of the story.

The imagery causes this feeling to seem tangible to the reader, together with using imagery to accentuate the grimy environment, lack of safety and eerie mood. The “strange light, the colour of an egg yolk” (p. 302) is very pictorial. This visual imagery allows the reader to clearly picture the yellow light bathing the lounge, in the same way the atmosphere of eeriness and gloom is highlighted. The smell “of dust and turpentine” (p. 302), is another description, this time olfactory, that feels extremely real. As the reader, you can feel the musty, chemical filled air burn your nostrils. It’s as though you are right there beside Charlie in the dusty, rundown

A wise man once said, “We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality”. Fear can be a positive motivator because we don’t touch a hot stove for fear of being burned. However, fear can also escalate to the point of panic and control our lives. The Forest of Hands and Teeth is a story that can teach a valuable lesson to even a modern day teen. The author uses conflict to develop the theme; which is, fear should not be allowed to control our lives.

Fear is something every single human being has at some point in their life. When you are in dangerous, threatening, or scary situations, fear is what your body will feel. It is the ability to identify danger and make a choice to either confront that fear or flee from the situation like for example, if you were to break a vase, you would hide from your parents. That choice is completely up to the victim, and depends on the person. Although fear is handled differently by every person, it is a common emotion that everyone feels. Some seek out to overcome their fears, and seek the feeling of adrenaline they get from overcoming. Others flee the situation and don't think twice about trying to overcome their fear. In worst case scenarios people freeze
