The Demon Called Fear

In Night Elie was out on the courtyard for lineup with the other Jews. His Dad asked one of the officers for a restroom. The Officer struck him down as if he were stupid and Elie was so paralyzed by fear that he didn’t go to his father’s rescue he just stood there like a soulless body. Like Elie, people’s emotions can be altered by fear, and it can affect many lives like when a person is paralyzed with fear or when a person anxiety levels are high because they forget to do their work.
People often get paralyzed by fear when they’re forced to do something they don’t want to do. For example, say a person is afraid of heights, and they are forced to jump off a cliff into water at a party. Then all of a sudden he can’t move, because he’s on the edge of sanity of falling off to the fear of heights. The person’s fear projects him from his fear of high places and it will make him safer, and it will protect him from harm because some people have no sense and jump off anyway.
Homework, the most dreaded monstrosity that has taken effect in most teens lives, and it makes them show their lazy side, because they don’t want to do their work and show their fear by anxiety. For example , a test a teen has to take is tomorrow, and he hasn’t studied at all and he has no clue what to do. The teen is scared of what he will make on his test, since he hasn’t studied the oh-so-awful-horrifying-test.Plus he is frantically looking for someone to help him to study like a chicken with its head cut off. In addition, an employee forgets to turn in paper work and is panicking because he doesn’t know if he’s going to get fired. The employee has anxiety and stresses over the fact that his paper work is late and is scared because he doesn’t know if he will be fired or not.
Therefore, Elie has a right to be scared because just like everyone else we are all scared or fearful of some ominous force, it’s who we are.
