The Great Panic

This chapter is ultimately about how people begin to deal with the realization that zombies are real. People have been in denial before this so it comes as quite a shock. One part that stood out to me was the part about people swimming out to get to boats and being pulled under by zombies. Imagine how scary this would be. Risking your life to try to save it. And the fact that people were taking money for others to ride in their boats. Did they really think money was still going to matter?
