The Theme Of Fear In All The Light We Cannot See

The Only Thing To Fear takes place in a world in which Hitler and the nazis won WWII. America was divided by the Axis powers: Germany in the east, italy in the Dakotas, and Japan in the West.

In the exceptional novel All the Light We Cannot See, author Anthony Doerr, tells the story of two young adults whom had to experience life during World War II.

My first impression of All the Light We Cannot See is that it’s interesting that Werner and Marie-Laure have certain perspectives or traits that they have developed based on their situations. To start off, Werner and Marie have many  differences. One major difference is their perspective on the Nazis. At first Werner fears and dislikes the Nazis, but when he is given the opportunity to become one instead of a coal worker, he puts his old feelings aside and works hard and strives to become one. On the other hand, Marie lives in France, which is being invaded by the Nazis.

Sam Robert in the article “A decade of fear” argues that Mccarthyism turned Americans against each other. Robert supports his claim by illustrating fear, describing betrayal, and comparing it to other US internal conflicts. The author's purpose is to point out a vulnerable point in American history in order to demonstrate how Americans fell prey to Mccarthy’s propaganda. The author writes in a direct and cynical tone for an educated audience. I Strongly agree with Rogers. Mccarthyism caused Americans to turn on each other because it sparked and strengthened the fear of there being communist spies in the government. As well as inciting Americans to hunt and expose communists or anyone they thought to be communist and plunging Americans into a mass hysteria.

Going to war, not excelling in studies, and jumping from a tree are three events that show how fear is portrayed throughout the story.

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”-Franklin D. Roosevelt. Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Fear can either be a good thing or a bad thing. In A Separate Peace, one of the major bonding elements in the relationship between Finny and the narrator is fear. They both fear things which help develop their relationship as friends. Fear is a major bonding element in the relationship between Gene and Finny because of the teamwork between them, the forgiveness, and the fear of failure which they both share.

Fear is so deeply embedded in the human genome, as a defense mechanism. It is so old it is coded into the oldest part of the human nervous system. Throughout history, fear has been used to manipulate whole populations into starting wars, revolts, genocides, and discrimination. Never has that been more true than in Adolf Hitler’s Germany, his rise led to the deadliest conflict in human history, World War II. His consolidation of power and control over the people of Germany, can be attributed to using fear as a weapon of manipulation.

We all think children are all innocent and cute, but is that really true? We always give excuses for children’s misconduct, distracting ourselves from the real truth. Kids are capable of terrible things that adults quickly ignore. Children can be very scary because of their capabilities that most adults believe to be innocent mistakes. One story that explores this fear is Ray Bradbury’s “The Man Upstairs.”

Throughout the world, an undeniable, yet perpetual force is responsible for tearing nearly everyone apart: hopelessness. Often caused by instability or vulnerability, hopelessness plagues those who refrain from combating its vile side effects. Hopelessness loves company, producing an inseparable bond between itself and self-doubt. During wartime events, it’s imperative to display some form of resistance towards the crippling despair. Although on the surface hopelessness seems insurmountable, it can be fought. In All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr emphasizes how the vital tool of resilience can be used to conquer hopelessness in all situations.

Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland is “a book about making art.” It breaks down to the reader the long term strategies to becoming an experienced artist as well as the process of developing as an artist and the downfalls that they are faced with. It also covers the fears that the artist will develop. All artists face fears within their progression, the fears that stood out most to me was the fear of the outside world.

Culture of Fear, by Frank Furedi, is a book that looks at how widespread fear impacts Western cultures like the United States and Great Britain. Frank Furedi believed that society tends to panic too much, as we actually enjoy "an unprecedented level of safety." I admit that Frank Furedi's novel is based upon a novel concept, and an interesting one at that. However, Frank Furedi comes off to me as little more than a fear monger and an intellectual elitist. His book, to me, seems redundant more often than not. But sometimes part of college is learning about points of view that you may not agree with, so I tried to maintain that perspective when I read the book.

I write this letter to you as a way to listen to what I had to endure ever since the horrific dream or reality, I do not have the answer to the unexplainable. Why did I walked into that wretched forest just out of curiosity? I should have stayed with my beloved wife, Faith, as she had wanted in the first place. Please, Ms. Mumford, do not make the same mistake I had chosen for myself. Instead learn from it. The life that I lived was filled with misery and coldness. I had shut everyone out for I had doubted the things they did. If the minister was speaking praise to the Lord, I would mumble that he was speaking lies for he had affiliated with the Devil himself. Same with Cloyse; indeed, I fear that instead of teaching the Christian ways, she
