Dawn Of The Dead

Improved Essays
Have you seen movies like, Dawn of The Dead (2004 film), and 28 Days Later? Or played video games like Resident Evil, causing you to witness average people manifest into flesh eating zombies. Did you ever wonder, “Could something like this really happen?” while watching these events unfold right in front of you.
Well, let me be the first to say that I have. In fact, after watching Dawn of The Dead, for the first time as a fifth grader, I was afraid to go to sleep. Thinking I might wake up and see a zombie walking around, or I myself might turn into one and start attacking my family like the little girl in the movie. Despite my fear, however, I seem to always get my hands on either a movie, or a video game that involved civilians being attacked

Practically being paralyzed in places like Las Vegas, New York, and even parts of Los Angeles. As fans, we rarely get to witness characters escape to the countryside away from the attacks. With that being said, a useful tactic that will insure your safety should a zombie apocalypse ever happen would be escaping the wilderness. Although it gets cold in the backwoods, especially during the winter season, you can still survive using river moss for example, as a way to keep warm at night and by building a hut using bush craft to shelter you from blizzards. In all honestly, it would be really surprising to spot a zombie survive the treacherous winter months without protection walking through snow, mud, and water for miles on …show more content…
This includes water, batteries, clothes, shoes, gas, and even hygiene products. After all, just because you’re running from zombies doesn’t mean you have to smell like one.
If you’re worried about getting attacked when you’re sleeping, or when your back is turned, zombie proof your environment. To put it differently, set traps that rings bells, and make noise whenever someone walks near your sleeping ground.
Stay in shape. Remember, the undead don’t sleep and can run for hours on end until they catch what they’re looking for. You never know when you’ll have to rely on your legs to save you.
Stick to rooftops. As was mentioned earlier, the best way to stay alive is by constantly moving and going where zombies can’t. You don’t necessarily need to be a superhero to jump from rooftop to rooftop, just make sure you stick the landing, and use it to keep away from the undead.
You’re going to need smart out there, and remain one step ahead of the pack. Keep in mind, the dead can’t get tired. So don’t let one catch you otherwise, you’ll be another victim added to the zombie ranks, or you’ll be lunch meat. Good luck out there, and keep your organs where they belong- in your

    The documentary ‘Zombie: Haiti’s Longstanding Tradition’ (Zombie: Haiti’s Longstanding Tradition, 2005) contained information regarding the original Haitian version of Zombies and how they are created. Some other things also featured in this film include how “zombie powder” is made, how people are brought back from the brink of death, and how people are forced to become these “zombies” so that people may use them as slaves. The idea of zombies has been a part of our world since the 8th century. In fact, the word zombie has been derived from zonbi, which was “used in the Louisiana Creole or the Haitian Creole that represents a person who died and was then brought to life without speech or free will,” (Ahmadmad, 2013).…

    The Zombie Apocalypse is an event I feel I've been prepped for my entire life. Assuming typical scary movie rules apply: in order to survive I must find a rag tag group of people who are sane as well as very skill at using weapons. To help prevent being that that cliché person that trips, my team and I would raid a shoe store for well fitting, non slip shoes. Next we would wear various layers of coats just in case if we were caught, zombies would struggle to get to our flesh and we would have time escape from their grasp. Next we would travel north and go to a region that was not very populated prior to the apocalypse.…

    According to Klosterman, “Zombies are a commodity that has advanced slowly and without major evolution, much like the staggering creatures George Romero popularized in the 1968 film “Night of the Living Dead.”” (Klosterman). In this allusion, Klosterman connects the trend of zombies to zombies featured in “Night of the Living Dead”. Society is fast-paced and ever-changing, which makes it strange how zombies have hardly changed at all, yet have continued to rise in popularity, their image everywhere in society. Throughout the rest of the essay, Klosterman discusses what exactly makes these brain-eaters so…

    There are many times when us as humans use the offensive term, “you look like a zombie!” But why exactly do we use this term? How does it relate to the subjected person? When we say that someone is acting like a zombie, I assume you can guess it doesn’t mean that they’re stumbling around trying to eat brains. The statement is actually referring to their appearance, such as if they have messy hair or bags under their eyes from staying up too late the night before, or their behaviors, such as if they’re moping around and walking slow.…

    Imagine living in a post-apocalyptic world where living in constant fear of zombies has become a new normal. Every little move that is made or every noise that is made can depend on life or death. Everything someone worked hard for would be destroyed and there would be no where to go for help. Would this push someone over the edge or would this push them to keep trying to survive? This is what The Walking Dead is all about.…

    Rotting, undead creatures walking the earth with only one primal thought and purpose, to eat and kill the living—this is a typical depiction of zombies and their behavior. The kind of zombie who strikes fear in the hearts of the living because the zombies threaten their very existence, way of life, and everything they’ve ever known. But what if there was more to the undead than meets the eye? Imagine zombies that could think and speak and act upon desires other than eating the flesh of the living. The human spirit is not easily killed and because of this resilience, a zombie’s innermost desires and tendencies can remain intact, allowing it to defy typical zombie behavior.…

    In the world where zombie films dominate the box office at least once a year, is it too far fetched to think these creatures could be real? Absolutely not, for these creatures are among us already. Zombies seem like normal everyday people until these monsters start feeding on another individual's face. Society gave these modern day zombies the name of cannibals in order to not have to face the reality of a possible zombie plague. Zombies are real and if the government does not act on this soon this country will end up just like in the movies, overrun with these foul creatures.…

    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.…
