Ricked jam packed his backpack with supplies need for his journey then hopped on his biked determined that he will save Floosh. Google maps said that it would take 12 hours to get to Floosh’s location which seemed impossible for Rick’s scrawny body. Rick ran into a homeless man named Bob while he was making a pit stop.

The only thing he could think of to do was eat, so he grabbed his left over hot pocket and ate half of what was left. Then he was hit with a burst of energy and started to run. He was running faster than he’s ever ran. Within seconds he was face to face with Hurricane Death Megatron 3000. He had to make a decision, to save his parrot, or to evacuate everyone he can.

The Walking Dead is a television show produced by AMC based off the black and white comic books by Robert Kirkman. The show and comic book center around main character Rick Grimes as he learns to cope with life after waking up from a deadly wound into an outbreak of virus wielding undead creatures known as “walkers.” Over the course of season two and season three, the show starts to center around how Rick is able to command the group of survivors and the challenges they face trying to settle down in a safe area. They are confronted with another community nearby late in season three along with the increasing number of walkers in the area. While facing these challenges, the number of surviving members continues to dwindle; however, the minority ratio in the group remains below the average number of majority characters in the show.
From start to finish. The old man examined how each individual water droplet splashed once it reached the ground one after the other. He would lay on the bed and watch how the raindrops fell from the roof and how reunited they became once they landed. His rusty, most prized, phonograph, played in the background, the sweet melody of The temptations singers, soothed his ears. The rhyming beat of the instruments made the man feel young again and brought back part of the happiness he once carried with his significant other. “I guess it’s time to get up and make my breakfast already.” he said, as he looked at the clock.
... try to secure the downtown area, they were quickly overrun by the zombie horde. After hiding in a burned-out tank, Rick is eventually recused by a group of survivors who have been making risky supply runs into the city. When he returns to the group’s camp outside the city limits, he discovers that his wife, son, and best friend are also part of this rag-tag band. After the tearful reunion, the question of what to do next drives the subsequent episodes.
You suddenly awake from a coma in what seems to be an abandoned hospital in downtown Atlanta. As you leave your hospital bed looking for any signs of life, you see a barricaded door that reads “Don’t Open Dead Inside”. As you walk past the door, hands of the undead reach out in attempts to consume you. This is how main character, Rick Grimes, was introduced into the zombie ridden post apocalyptic world of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” If you are a fan of the series and have been watching it since season 1, you absolutely know that the “walkers” are not the only thing that Rick and the other main characters have to protect themselves from.
“Because the living dead freeze solid” (122), when word starting to get out that there were zombies, people’s first instinct was to go north. Family after family packed their belongings and ventured to campsites throughout northern Canada or wherever they felt was cold enough to escape the plague. Many people were still trying to hold on to their materialistic ways and brought “hair dryers, GameCubes, [and] laptops by the dozen” (123) with them to the campsites. These families realized very quickly that these items were not beneficial for their survival. Those that did survive the cold Canadian winters were not those who brought the most belongings, but those who had the will power to survive. As days got colder, people were forced to steal from each other, kill each other, and eventually eat each other. The only way to succeed during this brutal time was to go into this ultimate survival mode. “Eventually the sun did come out, the weather began to warm, the snow finally began to melt” and those that were left were the ones that were had the determination to survive (129).
The main protagonist Rick Grimes is portrayed as a small town sheriff who maintains a sense of responsibility and obligation to the people he is with. Though he is frequently challenged on his standings and behavior, he remains as a moral compass throughout the season. One of the best illustrations of this is the “bicycle walker”. Rick first comes across the walker whose only remaining parts were the upper half of a woman's body: head, arms, torso, nothing from the waist down but a few dragging entrails. The reality of that woman was something that he could not even process. He envisions her as one who was once alive and a human, comparable to himself he has taken pity on her and gives her the dignity of ending her life. Once Rick shoots her he struggles with killing her because he tells her, “I’m sorry this happened to you.” This shows that he knows it is disrespectful and wrong to just shoot someone, and he experie...
After all the challenges Rick faced through this story in the end everything came down to empathy. His feelings toward the androids, the feelings about animals, the feelings of others, and even the feeling towards himself. Any human being no matter who they are has empathy of some sort. What Philip K. Dick was trying to posses in this story is a world without empathy is like Earth in this story, damaged, contaminated, worthless, contagious, and sad. Be true to whom you are, have empathy for others, and reach for your goals.
When Rick is forced with the decision of what to do with the letters of transit Rick speaks with Ilsa and Ilsa asks Rick to think for both of them and make the decision. In the end, Rick sacrifices himself for the happiness of Ilsa and Victor as well as the war against Germany. He risks his own life for others even though he is quoted as saying, “I stick my neck out for nobody” and, “I’m the only cause I’m interested in.” This is an endearing quality.

The Walking Dead, a television show about surviving in the zombie world, is based on the comic book with the same name created by Robert Kirkman. In this show Rick Grimes, a sheriff's deputy, awakes from his coma and finds himself in a hospital.

He is portrayed as a talented assassin, reluctantly pulled back into the role of a blade runner. Rick sets out to retire Zhora, but his reluctance to kill again is highlighted throughout the scene. The use of sound illustrates the mood of the chase scene. The use of the diegetic sounds of voices, car engines, sirens, and crosswalk notifications while Rick scans the streets for Zhora, emphasizes his struggle to seek her out in a crowded area. As the chase begins, the diegetic sound narrows itself down to crosswalk notifications, a few cars, and then a motorcycle. The illumination of some of the street noises, illustrates Rick’s focus. Once the shots are fired, the diegetic sounds are gradually muffled, the sound of the shot echoes and the non-diegetic jazz music swells. Rick’s focus intensifies as he attempts to retire Zhora. The sounds used during the killing of Zhora, consist of the glass breaking and the intensifying of the jazz music. The choice of jazz music alters the mood, creating a sense of sadness as Rick watches Zhora collapse to the floor. Zhora is pictured screaming, but her scream is not audible as if Rick purposely blocks out her suffering in order to stay in the mentality of a blade runner. In a voiceover Rick dismisses the official report statement that killing Zhora would be considered a “routine retirement of a replicant” since
It was about one-thirty in the morning in the town of Homestead Michigan. The almost florescent light of the moon bouncing off the fresh puddles that covered the ground. The grass and trees were covered in a thin layer of water causing every little beam of light to reflect back up. Anyone who may have been outside at this time would have without double, smelled the mix of fresh dirt and night crawlers. As the moonlight started to fade away through the cloud cover, three buses made there way through the streets and parked in front of HHS, the local high school.
When he realized that the bird wasn’t dead he got mad and started choking it till it died..
