Rotting, undead creatures walking the earth with only one primal thought and purpose, to eat and kill the living—this is a typical depiction of zombies and their behavior. The kind of zombie who strikes fear in the hearts of the living because the zombies threaten their very existence, way of life, and everything they’ve ever known. But what if there was more to the undead than meets the eye? Imagine zombies that could think and speak and act upon desires other than eating the flesh of the living. The human spirit is not easily killed and because of this resilience, a zombie’s innermost desires and tendencies can remain intact, allowing it to defy typical zombie behavior. The analysis of the stories The Third Dead Body, Sex, Death and Starshine, and The Skull-faced Boy demonstrate that zombies who die with their brain intact can have the same feelings, desires, and goals as the living and they pursue their desires with just as much tenacity. None of these stories are a typical representation of zombies. They may share similar physical attributes, but they are led by personal desires. In The Third Dead Body by Nina Kiriki Hoffman, a prostitute named Tawanda wakes up and realizes she has been murdered by her last customer, Richie. She understands that she is dead even though she can walk and speak. She has an overwhelming desire to find Richie because after what he did to her, she can’t help but long for him. Clive Barker’s Sex, Death and Starshine is centered around a group of…

I used to think that giving birth was overrated and believed that the emotional rollercoaster leading up the birth was insincere. In my opinion, giving birth had always seemed frightening, long and most of all painful. Surprisingly, my whole outlook on giving birth and its emotional impact changed when I gave birth to my first child, Joy. I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago. It was a rainy Sunday in February when I invited my best…

its operations in pursuit of profits for its corporate executives. They continue to brandish themselves under the guise of McDonalds brand only because of the cultural capital it has amassed makes it easier to make profits, but if the brand ever became too toxic it is simply expendable. There are some operations though that McDonaldization does seem to exist symbiotically with, this being the temporal expansion of McDonaldization into the sector birthing and life. It must be considered that…

dynamic – birth order. Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychiatrist, first investigated the importance of birth order in 1918 (Ansbacher & Ansbacher, 1056). In his research, Adler implicitly distinguished between actual birth order and psychological birth order. In a study conducted by Shulman and Mosak (1977), these types of birth orders were defined. Actual, or ordinal,…

I believe that the topic that I was most interested in and learned the most about was reproductive rights. While reflecting on what I have learned regarding reproductive rights, I will be discussing: the dangers that women experienced without forms of contraceptives, important people who aided in the fight for legal contraceptives as well as the creation of a birth control pill, and the battle to legalize contraceptives. First, there were many dangers that women experienced during the time…

Although they may not know it, birth order and siblings a person grows up with help shape their future for the rest of their lives. Sibling influences can determine what type of career person grows up to pursue, mental behavior and health, their personality, and even how responsible a person can be later on in life. The impact of a sibling can be subtle such as the order the children in a family were born, and how many year apart each one was from the other, to more overt impacts like future…

since the 19th century, but they also have stayed the same in few ways. The Industrial Revolution catalyzed a transformation in which men and women came together. In 1963, people started participating in sexual intercourse (Griffin). Societies began to “construct a web of customs and taboos designed to control sexual activity and ensure some kind of balance between the birth rate and the number of mouths the society is able to feed” (Griffin). For example, they started placing dowries on…
