The story I chose that is about mass hysteria is Lord of the Flies.  The "who" is a group of English school boys whose plane crashes and all adults die. The "what" is they were afraid of "the Beast" and blamed others for questions unknown. The "when" is sometime in the 1900's. The "where" was on an island in the tropics. The "why" is for the questions they couldn't answer they needed to blame something.
