"Most Pressure come's from Fear, 
Fear comes from what we don't Understand"
     
       Pressure helps to shape us into who we are. The pressure help us to know what we worry about, value, need, think we need, as well as many other thing's. Many people think that we feel pressure because we are scared about the troubles that will rise, this is true, we are scared of the consequence that come from this action and think that its really important (which it can be) and very bad things will happen if we don't. It also thought that the reason we are scared is because we don't understand the situation, this I don't fully believe to be true.
       Pressure comes into are lives before we are even born, because we are coming into the care of our parents. Our parent's worry about us, about our health and about how they can take care of us. In the curious Incident of the dog in the night time, Chris is born with Autism, this difference only add more stress and pressure since it cause different problems then what you would (at least) expect. Because Chris is different he's harder to understand, this would scare his parent since they don't know what the right thing to is a lot of the time. This fear cause pressure and the pressure cause anxiety, the anxiety can cause you not to think straight causing you to make poor decision, like Christ's mom leaving or his father telling him his mother died of a heart attack, to us ridicules, but the pressure to do the right thing cause us not to think things through, as well the longer it's there the more likely it will cause us to doubt are selves and are ability's, a scary thing to doubt, especially when it's about someone else. This isn't the only thing that cause pressure, anything we care about will cause us some kind of pressure,since this is what we worry about.
        Not understanding something can be scary, but I don't think discovering the truth is what causes the fear to end. To me, we chose not to understand something that scares us, because what we truly fear is discovering the truth is exactly what we thought, that what we think will harm us WILL HARM US. True, a lot of the time what we thinks going to happen isn't as bad as the truth, but we aren't able to take the leap of faith, we aren't ready to admit that it isn't going to be so bad since we like the ignorance, we like that ability to think "well maybe I'm wrong" because if were wrong we don't have to be scared. But learning the truth will stop giving us the option, we fear being right so we think we would be happier unaware of the truth. We fear being right, so when we do learn the truth about the fear, only finding out what we were afraid of isn't their (or isn't something as bad or worst) does the pressure start to release, since finding out what we thought to be true is true the fear will only become more intense than before.
        When we get scared the only way to relive the fear is when we understand how to deal with it. Just knowing what something is won't stop what we feel, The pressure decreases when we finally feel in control of a situation, when we know everything is going to be O.K. and nothing and no one is going to be harmed. That is why I don't truly agree with the statement. It implies that understanding something will make it less scary, when what really makes it scary is the fact we can't control it, what we need to understand is the proper way to deal with the situation to make it less unnerving, Since one of are greatest fears is the feeling of chaos, which comes from lack of control.
       Fear is something you can find in anything if you look hard enough. knowing how to control that fear is what lessens it impact on you, releasing the pressure since you now understand how to deal with the problem at hand. The quote is O.K, but it leads you to believe that understanding what something is will lessen the fear, when truly, it becomes unfrightening or less frightening when we understand the situation and know how to act accordingly.

  1. Great ideas here Emma. Let's keep working on your formal writing. A few things to consider are: 1) Spelling of Chris or Christopher 2) speaking in general terms without finding evidence for your claims (this will be tough as you are speaking to psychological phenomena and will need to read some scholarly articles) 3) Structuring your essay with a clear position (where you second paragraph alludes to the counter argument of your position) and has a third paragraph countering the counter argument (this is where the most evidence is needed). Keep working on moving away from opinion pieces and into synthesis style writing as you may find yourself needing this skill in our future English endeavours. Others may not and thus do not need this skill developed as fully. :)
