When we think of stories, we think of words. We think of the characters and we think of the setting. But do we really go into depth when we think about words? Do we think about how the struggles that are faced? Do we think about the mean, wretched, nightmares that the conflicts become? Or do we think about how things are handled?
So how can two characters be so different?
R is a very quirky character. In Warm Bodies, he faces the conflict of ‘person vs. person’ just as well as ‘person vs. self’. An awful lot of the time, he has this whole ‘I-am-not-entirely-sure-why-or-what-I-am-doing’ facade. Many scenarios however, we hear his thoughts and feelings as if he were human instead of zombie.

We find him lost in his own mind and not finding use for communication. He is quite content with himself and doesn’t need others to speak to. In our everyday lives, we recognize people who ‘do not think before speaking’. In the book, we actually see the opposite. This concludes in conflict between person and person. If we can’t efficiently speak or understand each other, we end up lonely and lost. We end up feeling deserted in the dream which we created salvation.

How do we simply pull people apart something that we categorize to be the same? The same can be asked about people. If you walk into a store and see two people, you will immediately think “Oh there are people” instead of pondering who they actually are.
We are so much more than we are made out to be. We are dreamers, thinkers, doers, and poets. We are athletes, artists, independent, and friends. Conflicts will break us and bend us, shatter us and smash us.
But sometimes you have to burn a few bridges before you can actually rise from the ashes and become reborn. Life is a riddle and it is our decision on how we want to treat that. It 's our decision on how we want to act and what we want to do. Who do we want to
