Fear

Fear affects our daily lives, sometimes without us even noticing. Fear affects our daily

lives because it stops us from stuff we want to do or need to do because we are too scared.

Everyone has different fears and different depths of that fear. In ​Things Fall Apart​, Okonkwo

was scared of failure. He was scared of being a failure like his dad. This made Okonkwo very

harsh because it made him feel powerful. Feeling powerful made him not feel like a failure.

You may think you know what you would do in a scary situation, but you really do not. You

just freeze or freak out so much that you are not thinking in the moment.
