The Deadly Impact of Fear People may think that their greatest fear is a ferocious animal, lightning speed, terrifying heights, or a venomous insect but the greatest fear of all is fear itself. When placed in an unfamiliar setting over an extended period of time, like the boys in William Golding’s novel The Lord of the Flies, fear escalates as time goes on. This is illustrated when the boys were unable to kill a pig when they had the right opportunity, to then brutally killing a pig as time progressed. To finally, killing one of their own. Lord of the Flies is the perfect example of how fear is a deadly driving force.

Phelps was crying,” then Mrs. Bowles angrily said, “… I always said poetry and tears, poetry and suicide and crying and awful feelings, poetry and sickness; all that mush!” (101). Just reading one thing, one poem caused distress. The poem made them think about something real. It makes people think and feel, instead of just watching something like the televisor.

The novel, Of Mice and Men, was based off a poem which said "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry". This poem was the inspiration for the story and it means that the best plan can be hopeless much like a lot of the dreams in the book. All the dreams in the book were never accomplished as well all the characters don't hope for anything. The setting also shows hopelessness and throughout the book, there's a lot of hints for the ending. What the book says that one has to give up their dreams to survive in the world.
So even if he somehow avoids his fate, and still remains king, he will not be truly happy without the companionship of his wife. These emotions are also evident in the line, “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more.” (5.5.26-28). When he says, “it is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury / Signifying nothing.” (5.5.28-30), he admits that life is meaningless, and expresses that he is in despair and hopeless to living. Ultimately, Lady Macbeth’s death was justifiable because it brings conclusion to the consequences of actions leading to guilt: “All of our yesterdays have lighted fools / The way to dusty death.” (5.5.24-25), meaning that the foolish actions done in the past has only led to

You don't let anyone in, you don't give anyone your all because you constantly remind yourself of the past. You even get scared when someone gets too close. Which is terrible because you not only hurt yourself but others. Just remember that one day you need to have the strength to put these walls down for someone, or you will never be truly happy.
However, I am sure he would not want the bullying gene. “The child still struggle, and loaded me with epithets which carried despair to my heart: I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet” (Shelley 102). Sadly, something so fascinating turned into something murderous because of his appearance “can you wonder that such thoughts transported me with rage?

the eighteenth shot of liquid sin would somehow make me whold. I really meant those words I said when I promised not to drink, but standing by my lifeless husband, I had no time to think. It all seemed so surreal that day after all was said and done, I started down that lonely path where I had first begun. I took my grief, my fear and pain and shoved it all away,
The turning point in this poem was when Gwendolyn said “She heard no hoof-beat of the horse and saw no flash of the shining steel.” This line describes how Carolyn realized that Roy was not the man he appeared to be and she grows to be angry and disgusted with him and “her hatred for him bursts into glorious flowers”. The killing of Emmitt Till both angered and inspired Gwendolyn to write this poem, and shows her hatred against Roy through the eyes of Carolyn. Instead of coming right out and saying how she felt she described how she felt carefully through Carolyn over a period of
