Fear In Nickel's Fear By Robert Creech

Fear is an emotion experienced when a person senses danger and feels the need to deal with it inside his or her mind. Sal’s fear is always about what is going to happen next. She was afraid of a lot of things such as accidents, pregnant women, and cancer. First, she was afraid of accidents because her uncle died when a tractor flipped over on him. From the book “I prayed that we would not be in an accident (I was terrified of cars and buses)”(Creech 7). In this sentence Sal is describes that her fear is from accidents. Sal was afraid of pregnant women because they remind her of the incident that happened to her mother. When her mother was eight months pregnant, Sal fell from the branches of a tree. She broke her leg, and fell unconscious. Sal's mother found her, carried her home, and rushed her to the hospital to be fitted in a cast.
Sal fears that everyone will leave her like her mother did. In addition, from the book “ I don’t know what came over me. Even since my mother left us that April day, I suspected that everyone was going to leave, one by one”(Creech 59). In here Sal describes her fear after her mother left she thought that everyone will leave her one by one. In conclusion I want to say that fear is an unpleasant. Because it is the feeling we get when we are afraid or worried that something bad is going to happen. After Sal’s mother left her she was living in fear and it was unpleasant for her. Because she thought everyone will leave her like her mother
