Zombie Apocalypse Narrative

Day 43

Burning the zombies might seem effective as it became harder to track us either by zombies or humans. Emma and Gigi went out to gather supplies in the forest. Bear just killed a wild cow that seemed to have just gotten lost in the area. I would sometimes feel guilty of having to slaughter animals especially since they are also living creatures but I always knew I would not have any other choice. Since I do not know how to butcher animals, I wondered if we should just grill them again but Dominic took the cow that was already very dead. (Thanks to the claw of Bear) He tore it apart so well that I felt like we would have enough food for the next few days. He skinned the cow first and placed it in the coal, he said Bear may like it but

It felt like I had a younger brother. Growing up with Athena and Bonnie was nice but they treated me like a girl when we were together. They fixed my hair and dressed me in their clothes. My mother found it really funny but my dad thinks otherwise. He only had one fellow in the family so he made sure I knew my place. Dom was funny and he was pretty tough looking for his age. He told me that they had to shoot one of their friends who turned into a zombie. They were pretty shaken by it but they knew that he was no longer the friend that they know. He also told me that he did not know Emma that well because she did not go to the same school. She just joined them in the camping trip because her friend invited her. When the apocalypse broke out, everybody was scared and they panicked. Most of their campmates received a call from their parents asking them to return to the city. His mom sent him a message too but he was not confident that he would survive the trip back to their home. If it were up to him, he wanted to climb up a mountain but they had no gear for it and Emma said that supplies can easily run out when they are there. They also did not have any winter clothes and the weather up in the mountains might have just killed them. He also asked me how we got to tame a dangerous bear but I didn’t have any answer apart from the fact that we saved Bear from a scary looking zombie.

    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.…

    The zombie, as a concept, is related to many different subjects in the world today. Lauro and Embry in “A Zombie Manifesto: The Nonhuman Condition in the Era of Advanced Capitalism” correlate the different parts of the zombie to what they represent. In their writing they state “The zombie is historically tied to, and has been read alongside, the expansion of global capitalism.” (96)…

    There are some characteristics that are similar between the Bennetto family and mine. I don’t have the same father situation as Charley has in the story, but I know what it is like for my dad to always push me to apex in everything I do.

    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…

    It is when we are asleep, we are given the power to let our minds wander. To lose all sense of reality and drift aimlessly through our subconscious thoughts and dreams. A time when all of our problems and struggles in the physical world slip away for a brief period of time. It is when we wake, we are forced to face the harsh reality of the world we live in. A world with crime and hate.…

    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…

    The day began much the same as any other – meaning I managed to stumble out of bed and drift through the menial tasks of the morning, but little else. In short, nothing terribly interesting happened beyond the fact I didn’t singe my eyebrows off or burn my home down in an effort to cook breakfast. Actually, considering my zombie state of mind, I completed my chores with a shocking amount of success. An achievement, I must admit, that inspired me to journey beyond the walls of my safe little box yet again. I set out fairly early, this time determined to explore the area closer to my oh-so-humble abode, curious as to what riches I might find.…

    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…

    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.…
