Fear, a word not associated with good experiences. My biggest fear when I was younger had to be heights to this day I hate flying and rollar coasters. This fear of mine had started ever since I can remember; and having to fly a lot this does not help. I was about six years old and I was heading onto my fist plane ride. Most kids would get excited for a new adventure, but I was so nervous. At first I hated being in the air, but now I pass my time reading, sleeping or listening to music. Doing some of these activities air time goes by fast. I remember for my fist take off I put my feet on my seat, head into my kness and put my hood over my head. I hate being so high up with little below to fall on. Normally to takle this fear, I calm myself, now I look forward to flying. In the novel Lord of the Flies, the fear of heights is not shown but I did notice fear. Fear is constent in the novel. Im pretty sure that the boys would be fearful of flying since it was their plane that crashed and landed them in this mess.
Oh gosh, when I was about 11-14 I used to be terrified of rollercoasters!So you're not the only one. But I'm almost sure I could relate your feelings towards heights. But now, I love rollercoasters. Weird huh? Haha.
ReplyDeleteI would never admit that I was afraid of heights when I was little, but to this day I still don't feel all that comfortable being up high. Being high up on a roller coaster never really bothered me though, I was always to focused on the long dark tunnel ahead or the big corkscrew coming up :)
ReplyDeleteWell at least they most likely get to leave in a boat. And I loved flying when I was litte, although I've only flown once and I was about four. It was perty exciting.
ReplyDeleteWow, i love rollercoasters and i don't think that i was ever afraid of heights. One thing that i hate is going out like on a bridge or something like that, when theres a long drop down. Does that meant that i'm afraid of heights?
ReplyDeleteI am actually really nervouse to step foot on a plane afraid that it will crash, or that a terrorist will overcome the plane! Rollarcoasters on the other hand are extremlly fun, but i think the height of rollarcoasters is what gives people such a thrill!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty scared of rollercoasters too but I still ride them for some crazy reason hah. And I know what you mean about the planes I used to be so scared, but one time I got on one and felt how fast the plane was going to take off and I loved that feeling. And now I absolutely love planes hah.
