    COLLECTIVE MIND: a theatre crowd is distinct from any of these. In spite of being different, however, the theatre audience shares with all such groups the special characteristics of the collective mind. Becoming part of a group is a crucial element of the theatre experience. For a time, we share a common undertaking, focused on one activity. We also sense intangible communion with those around us. When a collection of individuals respond more or less in unison to what is occurring onstage, their relationship to one another is reaffirmed. For a moment we are part of a group sharing an experience; and our sorrow or joy, which we thought might be ours alone, is found to be part of a board human response.…

    The hot humid air surrounding me made me break out in sweat just by sitting in the same seat for 80 straight minutes. My butt started to ache as I continuously shifted my weight from time to time waiting for the bell to finally ring indicating that class was over. The professor had been lecturing for the past hour or so and my fingers were starting to cramp from taking notes. My notes are scribbles because I am falling asleep waiting for him to finish the lecture. The words coming out of his mouth sounded like gibberish to my ears and I was unable to comprehend any of the information he said;this will continue for the next three classes I have in a role. I do not want to imagine how I will look like when school. I questioned myself if this…

    Throughout lower school, and much of middle school, I had one looming fear. This fear ate me alive. The knowledge that at one point during my school career, I would have to endure a substitute teacher completely consumed me with a fear that rocked me to my very core. I can remember physically wincing when I opened the classroom door, and saw writing on the board that explained my teacher’s absence. I wasn’t fearful of a change in teaching styles, or the possibility that the new teacher would be absolutely dreadful, instead, I was deathly afraid of roll call.…

    Fear

    • 537 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.” This means that most people don’t conquer their fears, but rather let their fears conquer them. It is important for people to accept fate and move on to face and conquer their fears. Fear is a part of everyone’s lives, and fear can exist for any totally diverse reasons. Such as, the fear of death, or something more miniscule such as the fear of heights, or the fear of the dark. These fears, no matter what they are, cannot be escaped, people are forced to accept fate and face their fears. In both “Once Upon a Time” by Nadine Gordimer and “The Last Night of the World” by Ray Bradbury, the characters cannot escape their fears, and they must face them, one way or another. In “Once Upon a Time” by Nadine Gordimer, there is a family who has a fear of the outside world. The family takes every precaution possible to protect their only son, who they loved very much. The story quotes “And he brought the little boy's tricycle from the garden into the house every night, because if the house was surely secure, once locked and with the alarm set, someone might still be able to climb over the wall or the electronically closed gates into the garden.” This shows that even though the family had a superlative security system, and a wall protecting them, they cannot escape their growing fear of the outside world. To make their house even more secure the family upgrades their fence to have “razor blade coils”. One day the young boy was playing outside and got himself entangled into the knifelike fence. When they finally retrieved him from the fence, he was a bleeding mass of the little boy. Although the parents were only trying to protect the young boy, they ended up killing him. If they only would’ve accepted fate and faced their fear of the outside world, their precious son would’ve lived. Nadine Gordimer wrote this distasteful ending to help prove…
