From my view I thing the grandfathers fear was normal since our body are able to sense what is good or bad.In life everybody has what he can be afraid of, but other can not be afraid of it.Like in this story "fear" the boy was fear of thunders while the grandfather was not. On the meanwhile. the grandfather was also afraid of death while the boy was not. These prove that as we are in life, we have what we can be fear of but that does not mean we are abnormal.This grandfather thought of death that he is afraid of that is why he developed a fear.
We have many phobias that can cause fear to many people, but i belive to see a snake is the most common one.Once a person saw the snake s/he is already thinking that it might bit him / her. This develop fears to people as they think that somethig bad will happen to them.
Thanks for showing up your feelings. I don't think it is normal to be afraid of death since it is our last destination. Don't you think so? In case of a child i think it is normal to have a fear of something in life as he had for thunder but it was not for darkness as you said. Make up your mind Jason.....chau
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you. The grandfather's fear was totally abnormal, falling stars do not means death. The old man was confused and start thinking about his wife who dieded long time ago and he also thought that he might die ja its normal to fear death but not shooting stars
