Expository Essay Sara worst fear
My Worst Fear

I have many fears but my worst fear is the dark. There are many things about the dark that scare me. It feels like all of sudden something is going to pop out of somewhere. What if there’s a hole or something in front of me and I fall. What if I can’t see my way out and I’m trapped in the dark forever.

One reason that I am so afraid of the dark is that sometimes I feel like something is about to jump out somewhere. I don’t know if anything is really there because I can’t see. Something could be hiding behind something and I wouldn’t even know. When it’s dark I begin to wonder if ghosts are really real. If something were to jump out at me it could hurt me or just scare me really bad. I would want to get out of the dark alive. Another reason is that I’m afraid of not knowing where I am going. I would probably fall or bump into something. I might even run into something painful. If something bad happened to me I wouldn’t know where to get help unless someone was with me. I am also afraid that I won’t be able to find my out of the darkness. I couldn’t see if I’m near the exit or not. I would probably go the wrong way. I definitely wouldn’t want to stay in the dark forever. I would get scared just sitting there.

In conclusion, I can’t stay in the dark for more than 5 seconds. I start thinking about things jumping out from behind things, afraid that I’ll fall or bump into something, and not be able to find my way out.

    Something does not seem right, or rather, safe. You feel the presence of the night as if it was a living, breathing creature. What if it was? You feel someone's hands on you, and chills climb through your body. You know this is the last time you will ever see anything in your life. Your world is suddenly crumbling away. You hear a noise, the last one you will ever hear. It is something behind you. Something that would end your life. Your watch begins its final countdown. This is your last day.…

    I would wake up in the middle of the night, terrified of the dark. I’d think sometimes that my bed was on the ceiling and the whole house was upside down; and if I didn’t hang onto the mattress, I might fall outward into the stars. (She shivers a little, remembering) I wanted to run to my father, and have him tell me I was safe, that everything was all right. But, I was always more frightened of him than I was of falling.…

    There is the fight or flight that every living being uses, animal and human. Humans often have other bodily reactions to fear, such as fast heart rate, sweaty palms and many others. Often times, the same person can have different reactions to different situations. For example, when I take a big test or write an essay, my hands begin to sweat. Not only does this help me calm down, I am able to focus on the task at hand. I have had a lasting fear of “The back room” in my house, it is a room that is unfinished and is used for storage purposes. I fear the room because it has a decent amount of old stuff, the room is dusty, and it is a dwelling for many arthropods and arachnids. I do not hate the room itself, because it holds the water heater and all the tools to make my house work smoothly, but I fear what lies behind the boxes, the old board games, and the unknown inside it all. Every time I have to go back in the room, I shiver and shudder and pray that there is not any sudden movement that passes my feet. While I shiver at the thought of bugs and the unknown I also have a terrible fear of heights. My fear is so bad I can barely go on the final step of a six foot ladder. I refuse to go into the attic and I scoff at the idea of helping my sister put Christmas lights on the roof. When I do come to a situation when I am on a rooftop or on a mountain overlooking a valley, not only am I…

This is seen in the story “House Taken Over” by Julio Cortázar. People have fears, such as being scared of clowns, but many people are most afraid of the things they cannot see, or the unknown.…

    Ever since I was a kid I’ve been afraid of empty spaces. I would put random objects all around my house to try and fill the empty spaces: a notebook in the corner of the dining room, a teddy bear in the middle of the kitchen, a tissue box in the hallway. My parents took me to a doctor because they thought I had OCD. But, no, that was not the reason for my behavior, for my fear. No, it was the result of an incident that happened 17 years ago. An incident I try so hard to forget but still remember in vivid detail.…

    Fearing the known is typical for human beings according to Levitt and Dubner. I completely disagree because I don’t fear snakes, spiders, or being enclosed in a small, confined or crowded room. According to Statisticbrain.com, sixty percent of people fear the things that will probably never take place. My Aunt Kelly is one of these people, she refuses to leave her home anytime after 12 noon. She believe that after noon people are getting off of their shift and rushing to get their errands ran and after that rushing to get home. No matter the emergency or situations, don’t expect Aunt Kelly to come to your rescue after noon because she will not leave here home for any reason. Levitt and Dubner state that humans are fearful of the known risks like shark attacks. In many cases that may be true for many people but not for me. What I fear is the unknown important risk such as cancer. From the American Cancer Society, http://www.cancer.org, in the United States the number of people who have been a staggering 12,549,000. Cancer is an important unknown risk to me and I fear it because it’s considered to be a silently killer. I am definitely scared of cancer because it is an important risk that poses a threat to my loved ones and to myself. I have never been faced with a situation where I had to fear any of these unsettling dangerous matters. I do my best to stay healthy and active so that my chances are much lower. People should…

    The fear of the dark can be acquired through classical conditioning "There is not and never has been any convincing evidence for unconscious, automatic mechanism in the conditioning of adult human beings”. (Brewer 1974, p.27) The dark street is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) which is the environment accountable for the response. The unconditioned response (UCR) is caution which is the automatically occurring reaction brought about by the dark street.…

    Walking through the abandoned high school hallways was even scarier at night, especially with the news that had gone all around about two teens who were found dead in our school parking lot three weeks ago. To this day the killer is still on the run, nowhere to be found. Quickly I head towards my car and at the same time feel a cold shiver go up my spine, I try to ignore it. I realize itś a Friday the day when most teens head out to the cabin hidden deep within the woods to have some fun. My friend Grace and brother Caleb were going so why shouldn’t I ? Heading towards the cabin I keep remembering about that tingly sensation on my back giving me the chills it felt as if a spider had crawled all over me. “ No , just ignore it” I kept telling myself over and over. When I returned to my five senses I realized I had already passed the cabin, quickly I made a U-turn and coincidentally the car behind me did too. It didn't bother me much until after having driven for 10 minutes the same car was trailing me! I realized the driver was following…
