Everybody has a different perspective on fear and everybody is affected differently. The Mental Health Foundation stated that, “Fear can last for a short time and then pass but it can also last much longer and stay with us. In some cases it can take over our lives, affecting appetite, sleep, and concentration for long periods of time. Fear stops us from travelling, going to work or school, or even leaving the house.” This quote shows that fear does not affect people as much as it does to others. Although, fear can affect people for a long time which can cause them to stay isolated from others. There are many types of fears and some examples of fears include: the fear of the number 13, the fear of spiders, the fear of heights, and many others. There are hundreds of fears and many people have these fears and everybody is affected differently.

Many people have it much worse than I do. For them their only way to survive is to stay positive, and I can learn so much from them. In the news story Picking up Butch I learn about Butch, a man with a devastating heart disease, and how Middlebury athletes pick him up to see football and basketball games, because he can't get there on his own. It teaches me that some people have it so much worse than I do that they can't even walk. Another example is in The Man in the Well I read about a man stuck in a well begging and pleading for help from these kids, but they lie and refuse to help him. This story shows how cruel some people can be when others are desperately needing their help. The children do eventually bring him food and water, but

In paragraph 2, page 2, the mother went out into the pantry to check on Muggs. While the mother was in the pantry, mice had started running up to her. Muggs just laid on the floor doing nothing about it, so the narrator’s mother smacked him. Muggs then tried to bite her, but missed; however, instead of blaming Muggs for his actions, the mother blamed herself for her actions.

     Imagine an inner city kid having grown u in an environment where real life street violence is a way of life. His body, having survived personal experiences of violence, endured barely life sustained conditions, and many sleepless nights caused by the constant yet unpredictable call of death. His mind doubtful over where his next meal will come from, lost in search of some higher guidance, struggling through a world, not of innocent childish fantasies, but trapped in a forced reality.
