Fear is an emotional response to a perceived threat. according to the short story ,the author want to tell that every age group have different type of fear like Richard was afraid of storm but his grandfather was not afraid and again when they saw a shooting star the grandfather was totally afraid because there are some superstition that say if you see a falling star it mean death ,although he do not believe in that he was afraid because of his age while the little one was happy jumping and he was even wondering why his grandfather was looking sad .To my opinion I describe both of this type of fear as normal.
I agreed with you in case of the boy, but i am totally against the thing of saying having a fear of death is normal. Henry, don't you think that death it is the only way which leads to our final destination? Why should you classify it as normal? Come on Petrus......Anyways, job well done
ReplyDeleteFear of death is normal, that I do agree with you point. It was really hard for the old man to see a falling star, as they say it indicates as a sign of death.
