Journal entry 2 In your brain, there is something called the sympathetic branch which controls your body “flight or fight” mode. The sympathetic branch sends a warning, basically waking your body up and getting you ready for the upcoming situation. Your body is always on alert for danger. That is why when it’s night time and you are alone your sympathetic branch kicks in putting your body on alert. And you normally get scared when you hear a noise making you walk a little faster. The same thing happens when you are sleeping and you hear glass breaking you automatically go into flight or fight mode. Depending on the situation depends on whether you flee or fight. People normally fight when they have something at stake to fight for. The
The intentions of this action are very similar. For example, through this action, many emotions of outrage, and fear of needing to survive occur. Another intention is the worry of being hunted at any moment.
In human nature there exists a morbid desire to explore the darker realms of life. As sensitive beings we make every effort to deny our curiosity in the things that frighten us, and will calmly reassure our children that there aren't any creatures under their beds each night, but deep down we secretly thrive on that cool rush of fear. Despite our efforts to maintain a balance of respectable emotions, we are a society of people who slow down to look at traffic accidents and find excitement in the macabre. We turn off the lights when watching scary movies, and when it's time to go to bed, we secretly make sure the closet doors are shut. Fear keeps our hearts pumping and endorphins rushing, for it is an emotion that reminds us of our
Fear is not only a feeling but a parasite that lingers in your mind. The neighbors in “Monsters are due on Maple Street” were put to the test by hidden military agents. These agents observed everyone’s response to what felt like a bomb exploding nearby, which led to electrical complications. Everyone began brainstorming reasons to what happened; while others resorted to making aggressive accusations. Through its effective rendering of mise-en-scene, camera movement, and lighting; "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" conveys you shouldn't let fear consume you to the point that you're unable to make rational conclusions.
Fear is a powerful human emotion. It can make you do things you wouldn’t normally do, like risk taking and bad choices. Fear can spike your adrenaline. For example if someone was to lift a car off a run over child, that would be caused by adrenaline, which is caused by fear. According to several studies done by physicians
What happens when a person's places his whole-hearted trust in someone he has been completely wrong about? A good example of this, in Arthur Miller's four-act play The Crucible, happens when Reverend John Hale finds himself in a community entwined with lies, deceit, and betrayal. The play starts out in Salem, Massachusetts when a group of girls are discovered dancing in the woods at night. The girls' actions lead the local town's people of Salem in a suspicion of witch-craft when Betty Parris, the daughter of the local minister Reverend Parris, lay in bed one morning not being able to wake. Caught up in the whole talk and suspicion of witch-craft, Reverend Parris sends for help

You and I live in a world were modernism is reaching new heights every day. One day that touchscreen phone is considered new, and then next week it’s old news. These two stories that I am going to compare are about the role of technology, science and how it affects me and you. Based on how it uses new technology and modern science A Sound of Thunder is a better sci-fiction story.
We are forced to do what we don’t want to or maybe it is something we want to do. These things only happen because of fear. Fear can either be a dangerous or precious emotion. Fear is, for sure, an emotion that we can not live without. Without fear, we would be mindless machines without a care in the world. Although our other emotions would be heightened, life would not be the same without fear itself. Fear changes what we actually see and feel, it makes us rethink every single thought and decision we come across, and it propels our minds to blame others for something that we originally did. Fear comes into play during many occasions: when you are communicating, when you are in a certain situation, and also during our daily lives.
‘The Shifting Heart’ written by Richard Beynon is a well renowned and diverse play centred on many themes relatable to today’s society and time. The author has explored these themes through the eyes of an Italian family known as the Bianchi’s who lived in Melbourne, Australia. By doing this he has segregated a minority of a race within a larger race. Although Italians may not be the main point of discrimination within todays society Beynon has constructed the play in such a way that it can relate to any point in time throughout history. This was done through his use of different themes.
It's closing in on you and you feel a rush of fear. You realize you can't narrowly escape this time; You're out of resources and you can't fend it off.
When in a serious situation the adrenaline in your body makes all your senses much sharper than average. Trust those senses to guide you away from danger. Running is essential to every horror movie. So you have to at least be able to outrun your pursuer, because if you can outrun them you’re more likely to escape. You don’t have to be super fast though, using quick twists and sharp turns could give you the chance to escape. Lastly listening to your gut is probably the thing that will save you from the “could be dead” situation. The sense of dread or fear your stomach gives you is a sign telling you “You’re going to die if you go that way.” It’s true that your body will help get away, but you’ll have to defend yourself at some point.
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
Fear can create an instinctual response to perceived danger. A good example is of the time my husband and I were alone on a long hike in the jungles of Belize and came upon a fer-de-lance snake that would most likely have killed us with its bite. Without any time passing, my instinct of fight or flight emerged and I pushed my husband out of the way, telling him to run as I did. Also, in an instinctual state of fear, someone can perform tasks they did not think were possible such as being able to lift a
Things that pop and crack populate the house. Hearing sounds in the middle of the night that send chills down my spine. A sense of alertness occurs when standing there frozen, waiting, and thinking, “What could it be?” Waiting for the next noise or ignition of thought that makes the heart beat a little faster and breathe slower to limit the noises made in the darkness. When the lights go out you ultimately assume the worst scenarios for example a burglar, paranormal activities, or critters in the night. Even the tick tock of the clock seems like a loud bass drum in the vicinity of catching another sound to reassure that the noise was not something or someone. I often ask myself “Why me?” questioning why I have these fears. I remember how watching horror movies generated fear even at the young age of eight. Movies such as Puppet Master, IT, and Children of the Corn come to mind as well as the infamous Chucky movies. In those movies only bad things happened at night.
As mentioned earlier, the brains priority is always survival, any threat throws the brain into survival
