Apocalypse Essay: How I Survived The Zombie Apocalypse

Improved Essays
How I survived the Zombie Apocalypse Waking up to the loud screeching siren and a voice blaring through the speaker of my phone at the crack of dawn wasn’t the best feeling. The Public Service Announcement stated that that there was a zombie apocalypse and it wasn’t a drill. My heart raced. In a split second, instantly grabbed the three most important things I could think of that time: my energy drinks, my machete, and my slowest friends. It was three in the morning and I was doing what every normal person was doing at that particular time: sleeping. “This is not a drill, everyone take cover or take action. It’s every person for them self, again this is not a drill. It is a zombie apocalypse. I ran over to my closet and grabbed five packs of monster energy drinks and placed them into the army style backpack I had hanging on the chair. I had no doubt that it would be a long night and I would be in need of the energy to fight off the flesh eating infested creatures. “Ebony what are you going to do? You can’t even take on the mosquitoes that fly around outside.” I thought to …show more content…
It was my friend Kelsey. As I picked up I instantly heard the heavy breathing of them on the other end of the phone. “What are we going to do? I don’t want to die, I’m too young to die Ebony!” I automatically knew that I was going to be in charge. With my quick thinking I remembered that they had machine guns because of Kelsey’s and Nick’s father was in the army. After I told them to bring their guns, and to meet me at my house, I hung up. At that moment I started to think about me. If I brought my gun, I will run out of bullets immediately, only because I have no aim and I would be wasting precious ammo. “Eureka!” I shouted. A machete. It was the perfect idea .A machete is easy to use, requires little to no aim, and plus an advantage on my part because it used no outside resources. And at that moment I knew it was war

    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.…

    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…

    The creation of monsters like vampires and zombies presents itself as an allegory the “day to day existence.” Articles like “Why Vampires Never Die” by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan and “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead “ by Chuck Klosterman emphasizes the correlation between folktale and reality. The difference between Folktale and reality is that folktale and reality is that folktale are variations of stories from many cultures, while reality is something that exist and can be proven. This creates room for the idea of death to be a significant aspect to the rise of monstrous beings, as listed prior. The idea of what happens after life, known as death varies amongst cultures and…

    There are several legends or just stories regarding monsters that we have known since we were children and they have frightened us since we were young into our early teenage years. But if we really think about it, what might these monsters represent or why do we even have monsters. Authors attempted to look into the world of monsters more and attempt to identify more of what the monsters could symbolize or what they can represent regarding us, humankind. In other words, the authors explain their perspectives on how do monsters and their existence affect us, how do they represent what we are here for and more. Using the articles “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead,” “Cursed by a Bite,” and “Monsters and Messiahs” I will help…

    “A lot of modern life is exactly like slaughtering zombies.” This statement is true in the eyes of Chuck Klosterman, where he expresses opinions in his article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead”. In correlation, to the movie Warm Bodies directed by Jonathan Levine one can see that there are many things that we can relate to in modern life that can also be seen in a zombie apocalypse world. For example, in both worlds you can see that once we adapt to our daily lives of work, school, invasion of zombies, and disease, we end up developing a predictable routine in life, no matter the situation. All in all, I believe that there are similarities in a zombie flesh eating world and in the modern world we live in today, we ourselves…

I got up after all the zombies were “dead”, because they cannot be any deader than they already were, and looked around for the shooter.…
