The photo perfectly fits into the category Fear because it perfectly shows one's emotion when experiencing fear. If I was watching a horror film, I would constantly make a face that is very similar to the drawing. With bloody red sky, the agonized figure's face puts fear into my heart as well. Seeing this drawing will leave anyone crying with fear even in happiest state.

Fear

Fear is one of our most frequently shown emotion that we express. We feel fear when we are about to be late for a class, when there is a pop quiz, when we see a horror movie, when you are about to do somthing which you have never done before, and other incidents that harms us physically or mentally.

Fun - No Beef - Afrojack and Steve Aoki ft. Miss Palmer

In my personal opinion, best way to truly have fun is to go to a huge club with ear-tearing bass. In those clubs, no matter what you do, as long as you have fun, people will not rebuke but join you. To have those fun though, you need a proper music. No Beef, produced by Afrojack and Steve Aoki, is one of the songs that are frequently played in the clubs.

With a repeating electronic chorus and rapid beats, No Beef became a song that is loved by many. The song definately fits the category because it lets you have fun by pulling out a playful side hidden in your shyness. With the song playing, you will soon notice your head nodding and body rapidly shaking with the rhythm unconciously. Although you will not feel the same excitement of clubbing, you will be able to have enough fun just by listening to the beats of the music.

Fun - Fast and Furious

During olympic season, Usain Bolt from Jamaica has shocked the world with his unimaginable speed. He placed all the records and won numerous medals. With his speed, Bolt was able to become a super star.

Being fast has always bought people's admiration. I had the same impression when I saw the cars in Fast and Furious movie. Fast and Furious movies are solely dedicated to party and cars. Seeing the races gave audience the thrill, fun, and excitements.

The movie falls into Category fun because it can give its audience the fun they need. As mentioned in the earlier paragraph, the speed of the cars recieved all the admiration from the viewers. With speedy, action-packed excitements and thrills, Fast and Furious can provide enough fun for the audience.

Fun - Elf

Along with Home Alone, there is a movie that I never miss to watch during Christmas holidays. Elf, starring Will Ferrell, brighten the holidays with his slap-stick comedies and funny actions. Every year, Elf has brought me laughters and taught me about holiday spirit.

The movie falls into Fun category because of the actings done by Will Ferrell. His jokes and elf-like actions brought fun when I am down. One scene which I particularly remember is one where he eats a "elf food". He mixes spaghetti noodles with smores Pop Tarts, M&Ms, maple syrup, and chocolate sprinkles. To humans, it would look like the most fattening and sweetest food. I was surprised by the eating habits that was shown in the movie. However, that scene only was able to make me hold my stomach with laughter.

Fun - Harry Potter

When I was a child, I would pick up a broom and imagine myself as a grand wizard defeating a dark magician or a black dragon. J.K. Rowling has fulfilled my dream by writing a grand fantasy masterpiece, Harry Potter. When I was reading her series, my brain would spark and take a journey alongside Harry Potter and defeat evil Lord Voldemort.

Harry Potter fits into fun because of my childhood memory. Reading and imagining the book was one of the ways I used to spend the day. I would pick up the book and not let go for at least five hours. Although, I do not get the same excitement as I did when I was young, Harry Potter still brings my precious childhood memories.
