The Walking Dead: The walking dead was about a guy named rick Grimes who took a bullet for his p;partner which lead him in a coma, he then woke up from the hospital to realize there was a zombie apocalypse. Rick is on the search to finding his wife and son Carl. he then finds them at a camp in Atlanta with others. Its now ricks job to keep these people and his family protected from the undead.

Chapters 1-3: The introduction introduced the interview who was going  to write a report on the "Zombie War" but then ends up writing a book, with interviews of those people who survived the zombie war. Warnings was about the beginning of the zombie war starting with the first outbreak in China. The Chapter blame was about the anti rabies drug and how it was suppose to protect the people from getting infected. This caused problems because they didn't take the zombie war as serious as they should have.

The Great Panic: This chapter was about how people began to realize how serious the was was going to be. Many people were in denial about the situation. A part that  stuck out to me was when the people were trying to swim to safety and there were zombies coming from out the water and pulling them down.

Turning The Tide: This chapter was about a guy named Paul Redker many people looked up to him as a savior to come help and figure out plans to help there situation. ?But a lot of people called him dispassionate because he wanted everyone to lose all emotional ties and to shed their humanity. He wrote papers on solutions to the zombie war and then the government noticed him asked him for his help He even had plans for who should live an die to save resources.

Home front: I really enjoyed this chapter. People who were higher up in their class such as bosses or managers or actors were labelled as unskilled workers and had the hard labor; they were too happy about it. But then you have those who worked as simple employees such as a janitor were labelled as skilled.It was crazy that they were believing that the zombies were a call from God and instead of trying to save themselves they sided with the zombies.

Around The World:This chapter involves with the cultural and other differences around the world and how that affected them.Countries such as Cuba grew and Japan was destroyed and North Korea somehow just vanished. South Korea was actually in luck with the was because of their areas with mountains and their good defense with the zombies. One man stated in a interview that his county was starting to vanish and then everyone disappeared.

Goodbyes: his chapter was basically everyone goodbye. I really liked the part with the man man from Tel Aviv he stated that the holocaust has no survivors but those who did were extremely traumatized and that their soul, spirit and who they were suppose to  be was gone forever. and he said he wanted to think that that wasn't true but if it is no one survived the zombie war. He basically compared the two.

Home Front USA

Home front USA is obviously all about what's happening here in the United States during the apocalypse. We decided to build a sort of barrier to keep the zombies from reaching us. While this works for a while we begin to realize how hard it is to produce the most simple things nowadays. I think I would be so stressed out trying to get a hold of the most basic necessities. I think people really take granted for all the things we have right at our finger tips. Also, in this chapter we see the President and Vice President decide to start governing more laws. For instance, they want to start putting away every criminal. I think that's so worthless, they could be out killing or putting their life on the line to make up for what they have done wrong. There were such bigger problems in the world than just who was breaking the law.

This chapter talks about different culture such as Japan, China, and Korea. the way they put their first name last and last name firse first break happen in the remote village of New Dachang. on the quite night at the hospital when they received an emergency call page , Dr. Kwang decide to go help the people and missing his way so many times he finally got to the village where he realized the seriousness of the situation of people he came to help. they were laid on cots in a cold and it was locked from outside and no one care about others. their was a young boy who was cold with grey skin with a very high temperature and wild eyes.this boy has no blood in his vein, all brown liquid.



Chapter 3
This chapter talks about Stanley MacDonald that was once a trope-notch soldier and also one of the third battalion of princess Patricia's Canadian light infantry. Stanley and his team have being deloped to Kyrgyzstan to stopped the local opium dealers. they found the cave as expected lots of blood everywhere with no body except the mules. Stanley discovered an arm sticking out of a collapsed limestone that was still  moving and when he tried to reach for it,the arm jumped down on him but he tried to pulled the top zombie free from the rubble.



Chapter 4
The Interviewer's talk about Fernando Oliveira as he find himself Brazil. Herr Muller that needed a heart surgery and that he never awake from the anesthesia and when the symptoms of the zombie infection appeared no one recognized zomblification when they saw it. Dr. Silvia believed it was due to the reaction of medication given to Herr Muller or due to his her or overweight. the most scary thing was Muller reaction when he came out of coma.


Last chapter 5
In the finally world war Z, People that were interviewed talk about their story and everything that went wrong during the Zombie Apocalypse. one of the guy that was interviewed Sean, he said in his interview that killing is nothing to him which I think is scary but @t the end people are trying to get back on track and live a better lives but to me it like when the soldier came back and they are trying to live a regular live which is kind of hard on them because of the society they came from before coming back home.

Around the world

This chapter, the part about China really struck out to me. It's a kind of contradicting part because here you see having a bigger army gives you a bigger and higher chance of being attacked by zombies. That seems really unfortunate! I feel like if you are bigger you would have higher chances of surviving. Anyways, they decide to make this super advanced submarine, but it took like three months on top of having to continuously get supplies and help their people. I don't know if that sounded like the best idea. I almost feel like it was too consuming and they should have chosen something else to try and help themselves. Once they got all of their families on board they routinely went deep down under. The submarine became everyone's entire world. I think it would be so crazy to be trapped down below for so long. They had no idea what was going on back at land. No idea of what countries had now been infected or anything. One of the lieutenants started going crazy and painting all these pictures of zombie filled skylines and the commander realized it was a result of being isolated for so long. NOT GOOD. Then they started noticing a bunch of other ships down under, but they knew they couldn't help because they couldn't risk infection. they had no idea about the people on the other ships. They started running short on medicine and food which is kind of where I would totally be over being in submarine, but they finally found a great island for the people to live on. It ended badly though and in the end Captain Chen died. I think this part was interesting because you just keep seeing everyone's different ways to get away from the zombies and even when being in a submarine sounded like this great idea it never really worked out in the end. I think that's the problem is that no one's solution really worked. It was like inevitable to get away from the zombies. regardless of your resources and stuff.

So I went back and reread volume 1 of The Walking Dead which was definitely worth revisiting. While there are a lot of very tense zombie moments, particularly when Rick and Glenn go into Atlanta to get more guns, the real focus of this first issue is on human relationships and how everybody in the camp has to support each other to survive. We see the value of support and companionship in many ways. Multiple times in the comic, one character saves another from a zombie attack demonstrating the importance of teamwork. Rick and his family are spotlighted and even though he and his wife disagree about whether Carl should have a gun, plus that nasty business with Shane, you see how much they care about each other and how essential that is. There is a sweet moment where the whole camp sits around the fire and shares their backstories. They are all united by losing loved ones which reinforces their need to stick together. Those who lost families find new ones in the community. All except Jim, who gets bitten, and Shane who goes crazy and tries to kill Rick before Carl saves him.

Moving on, the first three chapters of World War Z, up through "Blame" show how poorly people respond to the warning signs of what ends up being a global catastrophe. People in this chapter are skeptical of the scope of the problem or even disbelieving that a problem actually exists. Nobody, save Israel, attempts to solve the problem or offer strategies, everyone is thinking far too narrowly and in these chapters we see how people allow the infection to spread because they can't be bothered to try and stop it. One particular example of this is the doctor in the Amazon Rain Forrest chapter. The doctor in this chapter had no idea what was going on as it was just the beginning but he explains how the people that were infected were just quietly covered up and nobody investigated what had happened. On top of that he explains how he got his organs from the black market, which was extremely unregulated and if the people who were working within it knew about the infection, they didn't do anything about it so that the operation could continue. The doctor who is narrating seems like he did care somewhat but even he at the end of the chapter, reflects that he didn't tell anyone or take further action because he was more concerned with rebuilding his reputation.

The next section, The Great Panic, is one of the most chaotic parts of the book because in this section the virus has gone global and is causing major havoc but at this point in the story nobody has any idea what to do about it, they're just panicking. People are trying to protect themselves or escape, despite the fact that there wasn't any place to escape to in most cases. One of the most bizarre and interesting stories from this part of the book is the one about all of the celebrities who shacked up in a house together on Long Island and broadcast the whole experience. It really shows how poorly those people were thinking, sort of treating the whole thing as a game or spectacle because they had resources and fame. They thought that they could just hire a few people to protect them from the zombies and go on living their lives as celebrities. They never even considered the possibility of a threat from other living humans who didn't have all that they did and were scared and probably bitter at how cavalier the celebrities were being. People just had no idea how big this thing was yet.

Unit IV

For my project i will be making a tumblr page. I will be showing the how music can have a positive and negative influence on children. i will be adding visuals of my essay by using music videos and interviews. I will be talking about how parents can help prevent music from being a issue and different point of views from different artist and directors.

Unit IV

For my Unit 4 project, I am going to make a video. I'm going to make my video kind of like one of the ASPCA commercials. My plan is to use this to show how bad natural disasters can be and what people can do to help. I chose a video because this project is supposed to be aimed at younger, college students. This makes sense to me because this generation is constantly on some sort of technology and many watch videos. I'm going to make the video emotional like the ASPCA commercials because it gets into a different part of people and I think it will be very effective.
