Fear is like a disease, it will spread and worsen until your ability to think has vanished, and lead yourself to death. Fear drives people to do the unexpected and can influence many people, and it is even used as a tool for authors to create good stories. Two good examples of fear applied to stories are the lottery by Shirley Jackson, and examination day by Henry Sesla.The lottery is about a village that has a lottery every year, and a character named tessa hutchinson won it and got stoned to death by the villagers due to traditions.Examination day on the other hand, is about a boy named richard going to take a government test and gets killed by the government due to his intelligence level being too high. His parents knew the consequences
