Analysis Of The Zombie Apocalypse By Stephen King

Improved Essays
For Kate, the zombie apocalypse meant a future with unlimited possibilities. Gone were the horrors of the past such as not being able to get a decent username, or feeling obligated to order a salad to post on the internet. It’s been a dozen years and Kate has her heart set on teaching the rising generation of students to follow their dreams, but when a mysterious cure is advertised over the old radio waves, the deeply disturbed world that the survivors live in is thrown into hilarious chaos.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS FOR INTERNATIONAL WORST SELLING AUTHOR JACOB WALL-LING'S LATEST MASTERPIECE:

“If you combined the elegance of CS Lewis and the suspense of Stephen King, you’d have something that is very different than this novel. But I would be interested in reading that novel.”

Rowling, maybe, if we were able to ask her to leave a quote about this book.

“It’s Leslie Knope meets the Zombie Apocalypse.” - a writer that wished to remain anonymous so people wouldn’t know he wrote it about his own story.

“I think the author does a good job of using mostly words that are real words.”

“My favorite part was the ending, because it was over.”

“At first, I wasn’t sure what to think. But then, I was later sure of what to

    From their dead eyes to their rotting bodies, the image of the zombie has become an icon in today’s society. Surpassing other horror characters, zombies over the years have become prevalent across a multitude of medias and genres. Although these brain-eating creatures are a work of fiction, author Chuck Klosterman argues that the life of the zombie apocalypse does not stray as far away from today’s society as some would think. Through his essay, My Zombie, Myself, Klosterman discusses the prevalence of zombies in media today through rhetorical devices such as allusions, anecdotes, and figurative language in order to convey that the human way of life is becoming more akin to that of a zombie’s. Klosterman begins his essay utilizing multiple…

    Science fiction as a genre has often had its stories steeped in allegory and metaphor. From the 1960s Star Trek to James Cameron’s Avatar, sci-fi narratives seeking to impart a greater meaning to their audience have been met with wild success, despite varying degrees of subtlety. In his novel Embassytown, author China Miéville takes this tradition and puts it to the side in lieu of running with it. A self-proclaimed “geek," Miéville has held a lifelong interest in the genres of science fiction and fantasy; an interest reflected in his works, with many of them bearing the genres of “weird fiction” or “New Weird”. While a few of his highly acclaimed novels bear the marks of his politics, in the case of Embassytown I would agree with his statement…

    In one of my favorite Stephen King interviews, for The Atlantic, he talks at length about the vital importance of a good opening line. “There are all sorts of theories,” he says, “it’s a tricky thing.” “But there’s one thing” he’s sure about: “An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here.…

    King might be best known for writing horror novels but On Writing is a real work of high art and transforms genre in the otherwise dreading and plethora style of writing books. Dr. Lawrence Nannery, a professor of philosophy at St. Francis College, defines high art as having a full understanding of the work “can enhance an understanding of other aspects of life as well” and “does not reveal everything it has in one exposure.” For example, in prose, writing genres work to normalize certain academic aspects and beliefs embodied within them. But these aspects are often portrayed so incorrectly that they either border on, or are completely submerged in ideology. However, King transforms this genre and doesn't reveal it so easily and freely, what he does is makes individuals understand concepts that are otherwise unattainable in an unpredictable and unorthodox manner.…

    A girl sat on the edge of her bed reading a book while the sun slowly set on the far horizon. Suddenly, she involuntarily let out a little squeal of delight and clutched the book to her chest, giggling all the while. If someone had seen her at that moment, they would have thought her strange—but her actions seem justifiable, for she had just found an allusion to one of her favorite books. Authors frequently use allusions to make appropriate comparisons; also, it acts as a delicious egg hunt for readers! Ray Bradbury uses many allusions in his book, Fahrenheit 451, to convey important parallels, teach lessons, and foreshadow events.…

    Interviewer: Atonement is partly about guilt. You’ve said that a novel can look at all sides of a question and it can refuse to take sides. Nevertheless we are encouraged in Atonement to take sides, partly because the narrator turns out to have been part of the story, and is therefore partial. What is the significance that the ‘atonement,’—the nearest Briony, as a non-believer, can get to ‘atonement’—may be inaccurate? Ian McEwan: May I ask you a question?…

    Could you ever imagine waking up one day and everything was different? Not being able to be sprawled out in your perfectly good bed each morning, but waking up in various locations for protection. Having to carry some sort of weapon every time you go outside just in case you run into a pack of zombies looking for fresh flesh. This all seemed too much and it was only my first year at Missouri State. A zombie apocalypse was not something I expected from college, especially to be one of the few survivors’ left on campus.…
