Captain Lee Harden's The Remaining Allegiance

Improved Essays
he Remaining series has always been a favorite of mine whenever I ponder back to books that I have really enjoyed. First off, I’ve always like thinking of the scenarios of there being one day a zombie apocalypse and being forced to survive by yourself or even with others as you take on the threat of the infected or even other survivors who are as bad as the zombies are. In The Remaining Allegiance it is based on the fact that teamwork and cooperation is the key to surviving or overcoming a large obstacle, and by large, the book refers to the now danger and threat of many hordes of infected overrunning a refugee base that our protagonist Captain Lee Harden has to figure out how to deal with it. The infected isn't the only problem in this dystopian …show more content…
Not only are the Infected and the Followers a huge threat, but Lee also has the situation of having enough food and supplies to keep the Camp alive throughout fall and approaching winter. All of these problems make me think of what I would do if I were put in Lee’s shoes, and it's always fun to picture yourself in the background watching as different scenes in the book unfold like a movie, as if you're one of the characters dealing with all these problems in the book. Lee is not the only perspective you see in the book though, which is good so you can see the perspectives of each character in the story. Whether if it’s Lee, The Followers, or even just a random character that has never been mentioned, it’s always fun to see everyone’s views. The only problem that I had would be the act of me liking characters a lot more than others mentioned in the book. For example, I really Like Lee, but it gets annoying when he’s in the heat of battle and the book cuts it off with an end of a chapter and goes back to a character I don't even care about at that

He is much healthier, has a ton of energy, happier, and no longer at risk for a heart attack.

This film uses pathos by having the audience show pity for Mr. Fulkerson after his scary diagnose at the doctor’s office, but at the end have the audience feel happiness and respect for Lee as he completed his tough medical journey.…
