Outcast copies Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead? This is possible, since the three American thriller-horror series are all Robert Kirkman’s television masterpieces. That means there is always a room for these show to have interrelated or copied scenes that are noticeable in the three series.

If the horror-enthusiasts are sharp enough to observe the similarities between the three shows, they can easily distinguish the similarities between Outcast, Fear the Walking Dead, and The Walking Dead. First, as pointed earlier, these are Robert Kirkman’s works. Hence, he is the brain behind these successful series. That also means similar plot and twists can happen in these shows.

    “The Outcasts…” has only one narrator. Because the story is written in third person limited point of view, this story also does not show any regionalistic qualities through the narrator. The narrator could be anybody because we do not know anything about them. It could also be said that this is a character outside of the story. This shows a direct contrast to the narrators in “The Jumping Frog…” since the narrators for that story are part of the story and serve as an advocate between the rural folk of the story and the urban audience to whom it is directed…

    The Derogatory Portrayal and its Effects of Women on Reality Television Many individuals are starting to suggest that the massive production of reality shows emanating negative connotations that reflect overly exaggerated images of womanhood could possibly be responsible for significantly contributing to the influx of emotional disturbances and/or behavior disorders. What society has openly embraced as friendly entertainment, has grossly underestimated and/or has a lack of knowledge in understanding the power of subliminal messages that are transmitted to the subconscious mind and as individuals mindlessly engage the viewings of destructive behaviors portrayed by woman; in addition, to the consequences of the psychological effects a large or consistent consumption of such negative influences can have on the mind; thereby, unknowingly establishing destructive patterns of…

    The Morphology of Horror: Propp and The Walking Dead as Myth “For all peoples, death is the first teacher, the first pain, the edge beyond which life as we know it ends and wonder begins.” – Wade Davis There exists a strange fervor in humanity for the horrific, a desire for that which in reality frightens, and in the imagination thrills. Despite our efforts to avoid the harsh touch of death, we still flirt playfully with its presence, and dream of situations where the unknown and impossible become a true, tangible reality. The power of narration allows the replication of life experience, solutions to the problems found within, and instructs others to take heed of them. These stories have changed shape during their evolution and transfer through…

    Apocalypse Now, made in 1979, was a film about the 1954-1975 Vietnam War, along with the psychological effects and how it’s caused a social issue.
