Thank you Nikol. Great ideas for how to represent fears differently.

2. I think my view of fear has changed and I have realised that fear stops us from arrogance and from making foolish decisions for example if people had no fear they would jump into a volcano without being scared and will have consequences like death. Fear helps us to prevent danger.
3. His fear helps him.
4.I think they are red and spiky and very small because fear can often run away.
5. I was scared of heights when I was little.
Thank you Mohammed for such a mature and sophisticated response. I like the way your view has been influenced by the film and your ability to explain the change.
I think that fears are very important because if you did not have fears you would not be cautious at all and would die and unlike in a movie you don’t have spare lives. Also, It says this in the clip when the man with absolutely no fears gets hit by a car because well he has no fears! But when he is given a fear the fear saves him from getting hit by a car and that’s why we need our fears!
Thank you Brody. That’s an excellent explanation of why fears are helpful.
