Fear in Literature, Tuesday 4th period
Jon was back to looking his normal, haunted and run-down self, albeit he was making an attempt and was nicely dressed and his hair was combed.
The board today said: The Vast: Fear of heights, space, deep water, and wide open spaces. Fear of insignificance.
He nodded at the students as they settled. "So. Today's story, "The Nothing Equation", is classified as science fiction rather than strictly horror, though I'm a bit baffled it can't be seen as both. Also, it has very little to do with math, if you were wondering." And if you hadn't read it, Troy.
"It is, however, very much about the fear of the depths of space and the nothing found there, and the insignificance of one human being against all of...well, everything. Do you feel that was well conveyed? How do you think you might do in such a situation? Do you agree with Captain McDowell about the right way to handle the situation?"
After the discussion, next week's assignment was written on the board: Uzumaki.
