Creating Fear

1. I like to be frightened only a little bit, however I love to frighten others especially my sister. Occasionally, I like to watch scary movies, but I don't normally watch horror movies.

2. I don't get scared easily, but there is only once thing that scares me a lot and that's a centipede- and only a certain species the one above. Every once and a while I see one crawling in my basement of my house.

3. To me a mad person is someone who has lost their morals and common since and isn't in their right mind.

4. Pressure can drive someone mad like money problems, divorce, being dumped, family leaves, no friends, humiliation, peer pressure, depression, and especially drugs and alcohol.

Assignment #5

1. It was a warm beautiful day in the park with a clear blue sky. There was joy and laughter in the atmosphere, but there was only one person who had a dark cloud over his head. That person was John who like always was depressed and lonely.

2. It was a day like any other for John. He would sit down on the same swing bench in the same park every afternoon.

3. Wham, then it went black. That was the last thing John remembered before he lost his family. but that was 5 years ago and now he still feels lonely and depressed as ever.

4. John was a very lonely and depressed man. He lost his family in a car accident and now he just strolls in parks wishing he could be there with his family.

Assignment #4

Task 1

A) The setting of Connie being alone adds suspense and some foreshadowing that something will go wrong.

B) I think Connie is a shallow person who doesn't appreciate her family. She is a self-centered person who only thinks of herself and boys. The crowd just feeds her ego of being popular and pretty which I think is distasteful.

E) I think it ends that Connie goes to ride with Arnold and his friend. To continue on the story (how I think it should end): Connie's family comes home to find Connie missing while Arnold Friend rapes and kills Connie. Later, police find Connie's body in a dumpster. Connie's mother feels no remorse and says she had it coming.
