Diá de Muertos, otherwise known, to you Americans, Day of the Dead. Even though people say it's the same thing as Halloween in America, it's so much different.

First off, I’ve always like thinking of the scenarios of there being one day a zombie apocalypse and being forced to survive by yourself or even with others as you take on the threat of the infected or even other survivors who are as bad as the zombies are. In The Remaining Allegiance it is based on the fact that teamwork and cooperation is the key to surviving or overcoming a large…

In this essay, I will cover one of the motifs that have been sited in the novel—games. In the novel, there are five games in total (excluding the one in the novel’s title): the Mind Game (also known as the Fantasy Game, or the Giant’s Drink), the Game and Battle Room, the simulator in Eros, and the game of “Astronauts and Buggers” that Peter and Ender…
