Imagine, you feel differently in two situations that are described by four sets of sentences that have nearly identical meanings.
1. He was very angry. I was afraid he might lose self-control.
2. He was angry as hell. I was afraid he might fly off the handle.
3. He was very frightened. I was afraid he might lose self-control.
4. He was frightened as hell. I was afraid he might collapse.
Situation 1.
You had an experience of watching your friend behave in a situation when he was angry (or frightened) for some reason. But that happened some time ago. Your reminiscences have already faded and you are more of a reporter observer.
Situation 2.
You feel as if you were in that situation again. Your friend’s anger (or fear) still causes unpleasant reminiscences. You still sort of feel with your friend.
Question
Which of the two sets of sentences would you rather assign to the situation 1, to the situation 2?
