Revised intro: In The Chrysalids, fear is a main theme that occurs in daily life. The inhabitants of Waknuk are constantly living in fear within their community. This way of life has made living in a post-apoclyptic world just that much more difficult. This lifestyle has proven to provoke irrational actions and deranged behaviours from the people of Waknuk. (start every sentence with the) (it is good, but try to add more and maybe an example from the book)

Within the community of Waknuk fear is a way of everyday life. The people in this world are living in fear everyday for countless reasons. However a main cause of this unrest is fear of mutations. Due to nuclear bombing things in this post-apocyliptic world now mutate without warning. The religous people of Waknuk are terrified of these "unholy" mutations. According to the precious book //T// //he Reprentences //all mutations are not pure because they are not in the true image of god. Even if a son or daughter is born ever so slightly mutated they a re taken from there familys and thrust away from the society and into the fringes of Waknuk. In these Fringes the mutations have a hard life - they are poor, live in the wild, and have no family. All this occurs due to fear of another tribulation because of unholy humans. This is surely irrational behaviour from community in a world in which survival should be far more important than fear.

Mutated crops are another reason life is fearful in Waknuk. The people of Waknuk depend on crops to survive. When Waknuk has a bad devational season for crops the whole community has unrest and gets more fearful of crops.
