Zombie apocalypse

At the end of the school day Bobby and I were heading home to play Xbox live together. “Let’s play that new game that you just got Jazzy.” Bobby exclaimed. I had just gotten a new game called Survival. “Hey Bobby” I said, “Want to meet me at the barnyard on level two?” “Sure” Bobby called back right before he got into his mom's car. When I got home I grabbed my everyday snack a gogurt and some leftover mac and cheese and then I turned on my Xbox live and then everything went black. After a…

Softly and slowly, a single clarinet is playing the main theme. The piece then gradually builds in volume, from one clarinet to two, and from the two clarinets to the entire string division. It then abruptly changes to a fast theme, the violinists playing the melody and the cellists plucking the accompaniment. At the end of a short upward scale, the piano comes in hot and heavy. And then I jump and gasp for air. My parents and I are on a road trip to New England, and the first day of driving…

This is true because whatever is on a show or a movie is far from what can truly happen in reality. I’m not saying that it can’t (ie a zombie apocalypse, the life of a foster family, trying to be popular at school, or a teenage pregnancy), but with all the glitz and glam of Hollywood, who’s to tell what is real and what is fake. What it is is a hybrid of truth and Hollywood. For instance, the…

For example, I like conversating about the possibilities of having a zombie apocalypse and what we would do to save ourselves, which is a huge topic that people enjoy talking about. Two of my team member watch the Walking Dead, so once we start debating about who is capable of surviving the event we all shift from working and being…

shown through me making art. I loved to color and paint and drawing pictures is always what I did in my free time. As I got older my creativeness went into writing. I love writing stories. Whether they are about star-crossed lovers or zombie Hollowell 3 apocalypse, the ideas just starting flooding out as soon as my fingers hit the keyboard. My creativeness also shows through my makeup. I’m always trying out new looks and seeing which colors blend nicely together. Overall I think being creative…

toppled the apocalypse style movie industry with their immense research and the result is a film that is scientifically accurate and terrifying to the unsuspecting audience. Without the audience doing research into infectious diseases and fomites, the degree of spread and high body count might seem outlandish and that of your typical zombie thriller. However, after seeing the facts behind the scenes, it proves that all of these pieces of the film are believable and a plausible apocalypse…

In this Anthropology class, most if not all of the societies that we look at and investigate have some form of evidence that shows the emergence of social complexity and complex structure like states or civilizations. The article of Norman Yoffee states, “All human societies develop along a universal "evolutionary" trajectory from small and egalitarian to large and socially complex”. I believe that this statement is inaccurate, all societies that have come to existence have not all developed on…

Dreams have been the topic of discussion for hundreds of years, yet the answer for why we dream and what they mean has yet to be answered. Dreams are a series of vivid images that occur during the REM stage of sleep. Many scientists have tried to explain the meaning of dreams with theories. Per Sigmund Fraud, our dreams are a way of playing out our wishes that we might not think of consciously. This theory is made up of two parts manifest content, which is the actual dream itself and how it is…

I will describe my personal history of community services by first introducing my services in middle school, and then diverging when I reach high school years. Most of my services began as aiding friends in their community services or as forms of tutoring, but more recently, I began to organize and hold various events, as well as volunteer at shelters and hospitals. In middle school (specifically 8th grade from around December to June), I tutored two classmates in math (Algebra I) for a few…

The apocalypse is an idea that people talk about regularly in today’s society. From a zombie outbreak to a major flood, anything could lead to the end of time as we know it. However, nothing is more frightening or real than the threat of catastrophic climate change. Climate change is the result of exponential amounts of carbon emissions being released into the atmosphere, which causes the earth to trap heat in between the surface and the ozone causing a drastic temperature change and extreme…
