... Fear is just an emotion that most would prefer not to deal with, but rather hide behind illusions. David Guterson presents and criticizes the use of illusions in his essay, “No Place Like Home. ... Much like the community in Guterson’s “No Place Like Home,” people in American society would rather hide from their fears instead of confronting them, even though this is the illogical step to take because the fear will always catch up to them. ... Had she not hid behind this wall of illusion, she would have found out whether or not anything happened and would have saved herself from wracking her brain in fear. The government played the other great role of hiding fears with grandiose illusions. ... These walls may make him feel protected and shelter him from the cruel outside world, but this is just an illusion that he uses. ... This is much like the way that the residents of Green Valley used the walls for solace in an increasingly corrupt and dangerous world. ... This boredom could also cause more problems behind their illusions. ...
Creating illusions is terrible way of relieving fear. ... It is possible to temporarily help yourself by hiding, but the fear will always find you. You can run from the fear, but you cannot hide from it.
