Fear in Literature, Tuesday 4th period
Jon looked noticeably tired today, though he was still as put-together as possible, with the exception of his hair, which he kept forgetting and running his hands through. He took a deep breath and forced himself upright, nodding to the students as they filed in and sat.
On the board was written: The Lonely: fear of isolation, being disconnected or abandoned.
"Right. So. I trust you all read today's assignment. Or possibly watched the Twilight Zone episode based on it. The story posits that loneliness can wear on even the most antisocial person and cause them to better themselves. Do you think it adequately gets across that fear of loneliness? Do you think it's right? How do you think the protagonist will get through his second year?"
As usual, before they left he wrote the next week's assignment on the board: All Quiet on the Western Front.
