Q? How is the book set up?
A: A bunch of
interviews from a guy going around collecting information about what happened
from all the surviving important people (12 years later).
Q? How did the book start out?
A: The UN military
branch sends out the guy to go and collect all of the information.
Q? How did the outbreak happen?
A: A doctor visits
a village in China
and sees a bunch of sick people and a child culprit. He calls his friend to ask
what’s going on, and his friend asks of he’s armed. The doctor says no. the
doctor, freaked out by his friends reaction calls his daughter to say goodbye. The
military shows up, kills all of the infected, and arrests the doctor and
everybody who isn’t infected.
Q? Why is this important?
A: China is trying
to keep the infection a secret, and succeeds for a couple of years. It shows
how china is trying to deal with it without causing panic about it.
Q? What stands out as important?
A: The doctor who
makes a placebo drug.
Q? Why is this important/a problem?
A: It gave
everybody hope, but didn’t do anything to help the actual problem.
SN: He’s super
rude about it.
Q? Page 56-57, why did he say that?
A: He is justifying
why he did it, and how it’s not his problem
Q? What interested you the most?
A: Black-market
organs (pg. 21-28).
Q? What’s going on and why is it a big deal?
A: They have to
find a special heart and turn towards the black-market, and the patient gets
infected. This seems to be how the outbreak spread across the world.
Q? What else seemed important in today’s readings?
A: How Israel stepped
up to protect itself against the zombies.
SN: They built a
wall and invited the Jews and people of Palestinian descent inside for safety.
Q? How did Israel
know to do this?
A: Some people get
an email, saw all of the warning signs and took action.
Q? What’s going on in the paragraph?
A: They’ve been “burned”
before for not listening to warning signs. So when they see the sign/hear about
something absolutely ridiculous, like walking corpses, they don’t risk it and
immediately take action and investigate.
Q? Why is the report so crucial?
A: It’s all of the
evidence of the zombies being real and they share it with everybody.
Q? What does America
do about the report?
A: They ignore it
and think its crazy, as does everybody else who gets it.
SN: I found it interesting that the son fought against
safety.
Q? Why did he fight?
A: Because he
thought it was like a prison, and he grew up with believing that the Jews were
their (Palestinians) mortal enemies.
Q? What happens with all of the fighting/civil war in Israel ?
A: The Rebels fight
back.
