Fear Assignment Part 2

Well, I would say that for the most part, my expectations were met along with a few surprises. Most of the classmates were actively listening but the time it had come to me, we had been laughing and having a good time with the previous experiments. So, the expectation that they would enter my experiment scared was not met. But, when I told them about the Annabelle doll, they were very interested. I wanted to use that as a primer to lead into my story about my experience living in what I would call was a haunted house in Terre Haute - but alas, I think they found it funny more than anything. Especially my dream and waking up with a joker card on my ass. Haha oh well. But, the outcome was a success in my opinion. People were definitely confused and irritated when I started harshly critiquing their drawings. But again, I couldn't keep a straight face and started laughing because it was too fun. The whole point was to draw out the fact that my fear is being ridiculed, persecuted, etc. So, to demonstrate that I wanted to put everyone else in that position to experience my fear. In order to really make the experiment a success i would want to remain calm and stay focused - don't break character. Also, I'll want to give people a drawing assignment that is more broad and allows them creativity but also allows me to tear down their work. Possibly call out specific individuals to really drive home the fear of being singled out and ridiculed.
