Station

Station Six: Captured After a fire destroys half of the camp’s food supply, your group heads out into the forest to hunt and gather food.

Fruitvale Station had an impact on me that confirmed that racism is very alive today. Police still are racial profiling and are more likely to suspect African Americans as a suspect. This film did not anger me as much as it did others, but it did confuse me because as an African American I already know the basics of what and what not to do.

However, when looking at somewhat realistic topics like nuclear destruction and deadly viruses things start to get interesting and you ask yourself “what if this actually happened”? Station Eleven by Emily John Mandel explores one of those relative topics by going through a scenario that answers the question: what would happen if a flu-like disease with a 99% mortality rate was to sweep through the earth? This particular book is…
