The characters in the story are unable to understand or explain humans and how they think and speak. Why do you think people fear the unknown?

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

People fear the unknown because something being unknown implies we do not know if it is dangerous or not. If something is out of our social norm, we react negatively to it the same way we would react with fear to seeing a creature we have never seen before. We fear the unknown because we don't know if the unknown can hurt us.
