It could be to explain something, or maybe to express something, or just to get their story out into the open.
In "A Worn Path", Old Phoenix Jackson was able to hit the dog her cane before falling into a ditch. She waits until a young white hunter shows up and helps her out of the ditch. He is demeaning at first about her age, then shows prejudice because he says “I know you old colored people…wouldn’t miss going to town to see Santa Claus!”
She sees a nickel has fallen out of the hunter's pocket, and before taking it, she distracts him by saying that his big black dog isn't afraid of anything. Not only does he chase it off to prove her wrong, but also points a gun at her at an attempt to assert power.
Don’t know how to understand this
Answer:
Samuel most likely has audience anxiety
Reason:
If Samuel doesn’t normally have this issue any other time than its most likely not trait or context anxiety since he doesn’t really have a problem with public speaking. It’s also probably not situation anxiety which is where the person’s psychological reaction may be from it knowing the person or context.
If you're meaning just a sentence with these two words, then:
She approached the significant hole in the wall, peering through it, a soft sigh of defeat passing her lips when she saw that the impenetrable vault she was meant to go wasn't there.
That help any?
