What is the story of polio in America and how does it evoke a paralyzing fear?

The restaurant in Pulp Fiction evokes the '50s through its decor. The booths, the neon signs, and the jukebox all scream '50s. It has that classic diner look that was popular back then.

The 'little match girl' Christmas story is a powerful emotional trigger. The initial emotion it evokes is heartbreak. Just imagining a young girl, on a cold Christmas night, shivering in the street, trying to sell matches is deeply saddening. As the story progresses and she starts having her visions while lighting the matches, there's a bittersweet feeling. We are glad she has these moments of respite from her harsh reality, but also sadder because we know they are just illusions. And finally, it can arouse a sense of moral obligation in us. We realize that there are people like her in the world, and it makes us want to be more giving, especially during the Christmas time which is supposed to be about love and kindness.

Often, 'it's a love story' can stir up a whole range of emotions. There could be excitement, like when the two characters in the story first meet. There might be sadness if there are separations or difficulties in the relationship. And of course, there's always that underlying feeling of love itself, which is a complex emotion made up of care, respect, and attraction.

It evokes a sense of tenderness. The soft melody makes one think of gentle love and the beauty of a relationship in its early, innocent stages.

Another theme might be related to natural disasters. America has faced various natural disasters, and in these fanfics, the fear of such disasters and how the 'countryhuman' of America copes with it could be explored. For example, fear during a major hurricane or earthquake. Also, there could be themes about the fear of losing national identity or cultural values due to various factors like globalization or internal social changes.

It usually evokes feelings of melancholy and pity. The sad violin music can enhance the tragic atmosphere of the sob story, making people feel more empathetic towards the misfortunes described in the story.

Another great one is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. The main character's disturbing and violent thoughts and actions are both terrifying and thought - provoking. The way the author delves into the mind of a psychopath, blurring the lines between reality and the character's delusions, is what makes this a truly frightening read.

In the structure, the build - up of events is crucial. It starts with normal things, then slowly adds in abnormal elements. Like first a character has a normal day, but then they find a strange object. As the story goes on, more and more strange things happen around that object, making the fear grow. Also, the way the horror is revealed bit by bit, like a shadow slowly taking shape, is very effective in creating fear.

Perhaps the new story uses the 'fear files' to create a sense of mystery and dread. By gradually revealing what's in the files, it keeps the readers on edge.

The way it portrays the human condition. It shows how humans can find beauty and love even in the face of great adversity. It doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of life, like illness and death, but instead, shows how people can still have hope and love, which makes readers feel a whole range of emotions from sadness to inspiration.
