Fear Factor

home and I’m all alone. Later, I hear my mom yell “Bye Syd!” and the garage door slam. It’s just me and Uncle Tony now. Please God, don’t let him get hurt on my watch. I start playing music and doing my homework- attempting to ignore my anxiety and fear. Half an hour passes by and right as I’m trying to figure out how aqueous sodium sulfate and concentrated barium chloride solution react I hear exactly what I’ve been dreading all…

over? Or do you use reasoning. Dreams, movies, personal experiences, and literature can make your imagination run wild. From Jaws to Stephen King’s novels, the reader can imagine the character’s fears and how they handle these situations. I have had a similar experience when I felt stuck in a dream and used fear instead of reasoning. A short poem by Ishmael Reed, “beware: do not read this poem,” he tells a story of a vain woman that drew people into the mirrors trapping them forever. Even though…

Have you ever been woken up at night to hear a child scared or even crying because of a scary story? The school board has recently put a ban on horror books in the middle school setting. This ban has been effective in many situations at home and at school. Some people argue this ban is unreasonable and should be revoked. This is a mistake for many reasons.One example of this is a quote taken from Common Sense Media. “These horror stories are deliciously spooky without being too terrifying.”…

In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, the ill-advised children's fear and ability to get along with each other make the establishment decompose. The fear compels the boys to go separate ways, creating a chilling concern throughout the whole tribe. One can see the fear is already in play early in the book.

as well. I will dominate this earth killing any and everything in my path. I plan to build and recruit as much as I can. Becoming the greatest conqueror this world has ever seen. I feel like I’m all-powerful and will destroy everything eventually. I fear myself sometimes because I can’t control my rage. Only a select few seen me rage and it wasn’t pretty at all. I feel that I’m gaining and losing myself everyday. I feel like the more knowledge I gain, the more dangerous I get. I mastered the…

Life Change Scale After completing Life Change Index Scale (The Stress Test) I received my score added up to 506 points. I am not surprised that my score was high because I am the type of person that does not like change. Every time I perceive that there is going to be changes in my life my stress level becomes high. I get worried about what might happen and how I will have to change my behavior towards the new change. I begin to worry about the future and what will happen and it makes me feel…

After some rewatching of Extra Credits' Spooky Playlist, I've thought of a idea. The main idea is merely a symbolic sound, reaching with the psychological trees they stated (Self, Uncanny, Other)... Everyone is familiar with certain machinery or instruments making music, having a liking of a genre or 2+, and overall other things in their life. The way I think this would be different from other Ambient works is that it's more than sound patterns and such that inflict emotional manipulation, but…

Inoperative It was a cold December night with a petty breeze coming through the windows. I´m sitting here and all i´m thinking about is Lenore she is always on my mind and she will never go away. If i run she will catch me, if i hide she will find me, and if i try to forget her she will always summon up. Everyday I am in agony from her loss i can not escape her. I tend to believe that anything is possible, but avoiding the emotions that Lenore gives me is contrary to reason. I shouldn't have any…
