To Be Alive Is To Be Dead Have you ever met the opposite of a zombie? You probably have, a zombie is a being that is dead but quite alive.

According to Sally Slocum, the traditional view towards women has been that they are the gatherers who remain close to home and care for their children (Slocum 2013, 309). This idea is represented among the Dani, however the representations of the Dani women in the film Dead Birds is lacking. Slocum also said, “The perspective of women is, in many ways, equally foreign to an anthropology that has been developed a pursued primarily by males” (Slocum 2013, 308). The method that Richard Gardner…

In James Joyce’s “The Dead” he utilizes symbolism, motifs, and themes to examine if man is selfish about morality while exhibiting that death coexists with life. The condition of a man is meaningful in the journey he takes to find the purpose of his own being but also to acknowledge that spirit and body can be unlinked. The story amplifies a dialogue between Gabriel Conroy's awareness and what he genuinely is blind to, such as his profound connections with himself and others around him, but his…

The Walking Dead aired 'Monsters' last night and it was the third episode of season eight. 'Monsters' was the first episode this season to disappoint me and cause a loss of interest. First off, the cold opening was extremely weak. It was choppy, disorganized, and edited awfully. I'm not sure what the producers were trying to do, but it didn't work.

One of the themes during the Modern era for many writers was a lack of connecting or a lack of communication. “The Dead” by James Joyce and “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Eliot are great examples of exemplifying the theme. In Eliot’s poem Prufrock shows a lack of communication in that he is insecure, and he truly thinks everyone is talking about him and his looks. In Joyce’s poem, Gabriel shows how socially insecure he is. The authors realized the importance of being social among…

Dead On Arrival Often times the unexpected happens and your life changes, sometimes for worse but more often than not for the best. In life we cannot predict what will happen to us. If we were afforded that ability life would be much easier and we most certainly would sustain less heartache. Instead we must take what is handed to us and make it pleasurable or better yet worthy of a life worth living. Or we can let it consume us in the depths of our inner most being. I refuse to lie down and be…

The core myth of this genre is we all live our lives like zombies, so used to our routine. Shaun of the Dead definitely remythologize the core myth, play with it a whole lot and satisfied every aspect of that point they were trying to make. We are so used to our daily life routines, that a lot of times we don’t noticed or realized what’s going on around us and Shaun of the Dead used the zombies as a metaphor of us. We are like the zombies walking around and going through life and content with…
