Apocalypse

The Zombie Apocalypse By Michael Cordes November 4, 2018. It all started on September 24, 2018….everyone was screaming and running every direction. All that was left was a group of 11 teens with only knives as weapons. Each one of them carried a bag with food, water, sleeping bags, sharp weapons, and a flashlight with a couple of batteries. I was scared and so was everyone else in my group. I couldn’t believe it...the zombie apocalypse had finally come. “Okay guys, wake up; it’s morning!” I…

discovered at the abbey where the conference was to take place. The body belonged to Adelmo of Otranto, who was thought to be killed by supernatural powers. Though even worse, more bodies began to appear all with similar signs portraying the biblical apocalypse. Early the next morning, villagers…

Humans were always very intriguing to Elias, even before the apocalypse. He was always trying his best to avoid them. He had friends, yes, but the select few people who were able to fit under that title were gone now. Irrelevant. It was dark, but unfortunately true. And even before he had even met these people, however, Eli was always a loner. Rather than partaking in conversation, Eli watched. Observed. Scrutinized, even. How one could simply start communicating with another was oddly…

2001, many people lost loved ones and had to cope with their losses. Similar to after a zombie apocalypse, people will be distraught after losing loved ones, and must find ways to grief and accept their losses. The social, cultural, and historical content within Foer’s novel must always be kept in mind after dealing with a traumatic incident such as a zombie apocalypse. After a zombie apocalypse social morals will most likely be obscure. People will most likely hide away and seclude each…

It is a dark, and stormy day. You are in your favorite class with your favorite teacher. Your favorite teacher then claims he/she smells flesh, and devours one of the students. You can’t believe it. The zombie apocalypse has hit your school. You decide to run away from the school. As you are running away, you see a stranger in trouble, about to be mauled by zombies. Do you go with option A, and try to save the stranger you don’t know, or do you go with option B, and run away from the guy, and…

about social difference and otherness”(May 286). I found this quote extremely interesting. If I could fast forward time, and somehow be placed in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, I would chose to be in a more rural or even suburban area. A city would not be a place that I would chose to go if I was trying to survive an apocalypse. I have had the opportunity to live in more suburban areas such as Rochester Michigan, rural areas such as Monclova Township in Ohio, and the extreme urban area of…

I certainly loved this book and the following novella. Firstly, let me state, this is more than a zombie novel; This story focuses on issues not too often seen in Young Adult fiction and tackles them head on and realistically. With the zombie apocalypse as a backdrop, this novel discusses morals, abuse and its later effects, trust, friendship, hope and guilt; All powerful subjects which are translated beautifully, realistically and in some case, subtly. The most powerful aspect explored is the…

now the show is on its 7th season but, at the time they were trying to convey an image of what the world would look like if the world was overtaken by a zombie apocalypse. I think they got the point across. The image is controversial because nobody really knows what the world really would look like if there were to be a zombie apocalypse. Throughout the image there appears to be many instances of desertion and even has the title “The Walking Dead” across the front of the image. So, even if you…

The physical journey into the jungle that took place in the film Apocalypse Now directed by Francis Ford Coppola, was shadowed by the psychological journey that Captain Benjamin Willard went through in his search for Colonel Kurtz. The expedition became a physical chase for Kurtz, but also a symbolic journey in which Captain Willard confronted his own darkness. The journey began in a cluttered hotel room in Saigon, where an intoxicated Captain Willard is desperate for an assignment. His mental…

Joseph Heller and Apocalypse Now by Francis Ford Coppola are often considered two of the finest examples of contemporary anti-war literature and cinema, despite neither being explicitly against the concept of war as such, but rather, both opposing the bureaucratic absurdity of war. Catch 22 follows the absurd struggle of a Bomber Captain John Yossarian as he attempts to escape the tyrannical irrationality of bureaucracy in the US air force during World War II. Conversely Apocalypse Now follows…
