Project 3 Part 1 and 2- Haley Griffin

For my question/problem I chose the paradoxical quote “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. I chose this quote because it is saying the only thing that holds us back in life is our fear. This hesitation and retaliation can keep us from achieving great things. I think that this is not only inspirational in its historical context but something to take into consideration in life in general. Contextually, this was said by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the start of his presidency regarding the great depression and moving forward as a society. One person that this can relate to is yours;f. If you’re holding yourself back because of your fears then you could potentially miss out on something and never reach your full potential. One other thing this can relate to is anxiety. This is a heightened iteration of the previous idea. A third thing could be a place you associate yourself with fear (such as a high school, or a location that was previously associated with feelings of fear and anguish). More conceptual objects/things are small spaces (feelings of confinement), mirrors (confrontation to fear and how it can hold one back), portrait (source of the fear), brain (more literal source of the fear), something scary (monster/demon), other people (fear of someone), facial expressions (to show fear itself).
