Fear
Devanshi Patel 9P
Fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion that can be aroused by danger, evil, or pain. Fear can also be conquered; it requires risks to be taken and sometimes sacrifices to be made. Harold Crick in the film, “Stranger than Fiction” conquered his fear like how I conquered two of my fears; one which was the fear of deep waters and the other, which was the fear of heights. Fears hold us back and prevent us from enjoying the moments. Conquering fears creates a full life.
When Harold Crick found out that he was going to die in the film, he goes to his closest friend Dave. He talks to him about dreams and things they wanted to do as kids and still want to do. After hearing his friend mention how he has always wanted to go to space camp, Harold decides to go after his dreams …show more content…
Whether I’m on an airplane or a roller coaster, I have always had the fear of heights. I would become frightened, as I was so high off the ground, and anything could happen. My fear prevented me from going on roller coasters, bungee jumping, and zip lining. I decided to take a risk and ride a roller coaster, resulting in one of the best experiences of my life. It was intimidating to begin with, but it sped up, I was overcome with adrenaline and I enjoyed the ride. Zip lining was a similar scenario, as I had to climb up very high to reach it, but once I went down, I realized that there was nothing to fear. If I had not taken the risks to face my fears, I would not have these memories.
Conquering fears creates a full life. It’s okay to have fears; like how Harold Crick had the fear of trying something new, and my fears of deep water and heights. Harold and I both got over our fears by taking risks to attempt something new. Letting those fears go away allowed both Harold and I to live in the moment and enjoy life. “F.E.A.R has two meanings - forget everything and run OR face everything and rice. The choice is yours” -
