In the finale of The Walking Dead season 5, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) killed one of the residents of Alexandria Safe Zone, and season 6 will see his group gearing up for a huge threat from zombie workers.

Pegg’s article “The dead and the quick,” the zombies need to be “Slow and steady in their approach, weak, clumsy, often absurd, the zombie relentlessly closes in, unstoppable, intractable… The absence of rage or aggression in slow zombies makes them oddly sympathetic” (Pegg, 2). Pegg explains the stereotype of how people view zombies and claims that death is not a superpower for zombies because when someone dies does not suddenly becomes stronger and faster since they are dead. However, the…

With the traditional tale of zombies going further back than most alive can remember, let’s hope you have entered the realm of the undead at least once in your life. Whether just randomly stumbling upon the topic in your favorite magazine or being a hardcore dedicated zombie fan, most people past the age of eight years old will more than likely know what a zombie is. How can the details of these intense creatures not be planted in your minds? Rotten flesh, amputated limbs, exposed organs, and…

Zombie and Intellectuals All humans are either zombies or intellectuals. No in-betweens. The zombies are the malleable people that are shaped by their environment. Intellectuals are the self-willed people that are very uneasily swayed. In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury incorporates both types of individuals to pass on a message everyone can learn from. The characters in Fahrenheit 451 can be divided into two categories–zombies and intellectuals –that teach readers that intellectuals need to help…

The Walking Dead is classified as an American horror drama television series that focuses on life in a zombie apocalyptic world. For my analysis, I watched season one, episode three, of the walking dead; the setting takes place at a camp and continues to be in various areas of the camp throughout the episode. The camp consists of about twenty people who have all decided to join together, so that they do not have to fight zombies alone; there are many families, but also single men and women. From…

until I had told him to. I then yanked the machete from my backpack and began to swing, all of a sudden I was down on the ground screaming. I heard gunshots and saw zombies falling one by one, who was this shooting? I got up after all the zombies were “dead”, because they cannot be any deader than they already were, and looked around for the shooter. I did not see anyone with a gun, until I noticed Steven standing in the doorway of the store with a machine gun. He was shaking when I ran up to…

It doesn’t matter how, natural or otherwise, but for example, your best friend died in some sort of accident. There was immediate death, and no vital signs, so they’re very obviously dead. Yet somehow, a few minutes after, they’re back up on their feet, but there’s something obviously off about them. This only makes sense, as they had just died, only to somehow ‘come back to life’. Your friend is no longer your friend, because after…

narrator and interviewer, we trust that the information we’re getting is truthful and honest, but still some of the information may be expanded or pulled way out of proportion that it’s not reasonable anymore. A good example of this is in “The Walking Dead” TV series, where many episodes are focused on the characters who are trying to get to the sanction or the safe zone. When they hear about these places, it seems like heaven, the best place to be where life is back to normal and no one needs…

John Derrick 9/13/17 PHIL 2329 Prof. Ursery Brains or No Brains: A Zombie Issue For my article to review I selected Dr. Brendan Riley’s “The Undead Gourmet”. He asks the question “is it okay to kill a zombie just because it wants to eat you?” Throughout this article he portrays his main point to the reader that when one understands ones reason for their actions they understand the thought process of that person (or zombie). He goes on to try and convince us that killing a zombie is highly based…
