The Walking Dead And The Good Lie

Decent Essays
There are many lengths to which people go to survive. Some may just give up, but there are some who do the most in their ability to survive or help others survive. I think that some of the best examples of this is in The Walking Dead and The Good Lie. First of all The Walking Dead is show where a zombie apocalypse and the main character is Rick Grimes. He is the person that goes through the most in the show. There is one scene where they run into other survivors that pull guns on them and his group decides to go into a shoot out instead of giving them their supplies.in another scene a person is trying to kill/rape Rick’s son and rick goes and bites a chunk out of the guys neck. In the movie Good Lie a group of kids from Africa have to escape/survive

The Presence of singular control, or individuality is more superior than the total undeniable equality of everyone.…

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…
