In this society our culture is faced with fear. Fear can cause people in a society to make irrational decisions that may be regretful later in life. Robert Bast is one who plays in what fear can do to people in society, spending over 350,000 preparing for the end of the world.

analysis in this course, I conclude that writing is a lot like mathematic. Like mathematics, where there is a specific formula to follow to get a result, so there is also a formula in literary analysis to construct an organized essay. I learn in my previous English class that an essay consists of some very basic elements, for example, an introduction, three body paragraphs, and conclusion. It all sounds really easy, but without following some formula, the result wanders and is difficult to follow. What…
