Now here is a man you want to be with when the “zombie apocalypse” happens. The three I just mentioned have the attributes, Wichita is pretty and manipulative, Little Rock is cute and innocent, and Columbus? Well, he’s just “a peppy little spit fuck” but Tallahassee is resourceful, effective, and absolutely the most creative zombie killer. During the film, they showed Tallahassee killing zombies with eleven different weapons. Some of the weapons he used shouldn’t even be considered weapons.
Real Life Zombies The zombie is a cultural figure that has experienced resurgence in recent years in movies and books. In “A Zombie Manifesto: The Nonhuman Condition in the Era of Advanced Capitalism,” Karen Embry and Sarah Lauro offer a theory of why this is so. They posit that the zombie represents our unease with our own mortality, our endless consumerism, and being a “living appendage of the machine” (Embry, Lauro 93). I will show how this can be seen in World War Z by Max Brooks. At first glance World War Z appears to be just another pulp horror novel.
Thanks to modern conveniences of mainstream media, the clash between the monsters of human imagination are at the forefront of modern fanfare. The two focal points of this subculture are none other than vampires and zombies. They have been popularized now by hit TV shows and movies. In this essay I will discuss the similarities and differences of both creatures and how mainstream media has affected them. I will examine what they were in the works of written fiction to what they have become in live action fiction and modern literary works.
The Zombie Autopsies Essay The Zombie Autopsies by Steven C. Schlozman is about an apocalypse of the human race and how all them were actually infected. They were all infected with a virus called Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome(ANSD). Dr. Blum and almost the rest of the population is already infected and the virus causes flesh-eating zombies to lunch. Other than what it causes them to do, the virus also drastically changes the way a human acts and behaves. As mentioned in the book that when a human get infected or catches this virus they would eventually be labeled as “No Longer Human”.

Before Frankenstein creates the creature, Frankenstein goes graveyards to collect dead body parts with an aim to accomplish his ambition. In chapter four while trying to create he says “I pursued nature to her hiding places…My limbs now tremble, and my eyes swim with the remembrance…In a solitary chamber, or rather cell…I kept my workshop of filthy creation: my eyeballs were starting from their sockets in attending to the details of my employment” (Shelley, 55). These words uttered by him shows that he is far away from humanity, as his ambitions motivate him more than necessary. That is, he ignores the consequences of the creation he is ambitious for, namely his devotion to science. Even though it is necessary to be ambitious in any part of life, the excessiveness of ambition damages either oneself or others.
“They fired at the metallic eyelids”. The author uses a very powerful action verb (‘fired’) to convey the way in which the bullets from the gun are released. This helps show the reader the aggressive and nature of the killing of the dinosaur. There is a very robotic and mechanical presentation of the “monster”. This is done to de-humanize the dinosaur so that we feel less sympathetic towards it as we are made to feel that the dinosaur has no feelings, as nothing more than mechanical.
AMC’s hit show “The Walking Dead” is currently going on its fourth season. This leaves Max Brooks “The Zombie Survival Guide” vulnerable to the consumption of the zombie fanatics who feed on anything zombie related. Brooks has written a follow up to “The Zombie Survival Guide” called “The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks” and has a movie currently in theaters called “World War Z” (Brodesser-Anker, 2013). It is obvious that there is a demand for zombie entertainment in today’s society. According to Brooks, “There’s been some really scary stuff that’s been happening — 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D.C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS.
Vidal states, “Commies will stop us from making everyone free, and we shall end up a race of zombies” (884). Vidal purposely uses “zombie” as satirical of his observation to spark an image of eerie, insecure and death to audiences. In addition, he combines “race” along with “zombies” to create more dramatic scene, as if the whole generation can turn viral with insipid addiction drug. For example, marijuana and other addictive drugs are artificial; similarly, non-natural foods from McDonald’s also attract to many consumers. Despite the unhealthy, some addicts will careless and continue to do what they want; comparably, some people still go to McDonald’s.
