Congratulations! You failed as a human race! If you had heard my previous speech, "6 Ways to Avoid the Zombie Apocalypse," we wouldn't be in this situation! Anyhow, I'm here to help. Maybe you can even survive this… Probably not. Nope. But hey! It's worth a shot. 1. Own a gun: You'll never survive the zombie apocalypse if all you have as a weapon is a butter knife. Although handy for spreading jam on toast, it will not help you kill a zombie. Go out and buy yourself a fancy gun. Maybe two. During the next few months, it will be your new best friend. 2. Travel with a buddy: Use the buddy system, preferably if your so-called "buddy" is dumber and slower than you. Remember; you don't have to outrun a zombie, you just have to outrun the person next to you. And if you don't have a buddy, that plan doesn't exactly work now does it? 3. Learn to love …show more content…
Don't sleep: Usually I say sleep to your heart's content but not in this case. It would be rather terrible if a zombie got the late-night munchies and decided to munch on your brain while you were sleeping. How embarrassing! So crack open the Energy Bar and a cp of coffee because you're going to need it where you're headed. 5. Learn how to use your gun: As you learned in number 1, having a gun is a necessity in the case of a zombie apocalypse. But that fancy piece of machinery won't do you a bit of good if you have no idea how to use it. Practice makes perfect, right? Practice until you are able to shoot a zombie blindfolded, stuck in a tree, and sleeping (which you shouldn't do if you listened to number 4). 6. Don't pick up hitch-hikers: Would you do this in a society without zombies? Of course not! So why would you do it when zombies are everywhere?! Common sense, people! You could pick up someone who is infected, or worse! You could pick up some weirdo who likes horseradish on their ice cream! It's too risky. Just don't do it. WARNING: I am not responsible for any deaths or injuries caused by the zombie
“Rule #17: Don’t be a hero” says Columbus in the film Zombieland. But little does he know how wrong about this he is, as he will be the one to break his own rule. Not just this rule but many more during the course of this movie, like “Beware of Bathrooms” and “Seatbelts”. These, and many more, are all keys to survival, but what Columbus discovers is that there’s no use in living without something to live for.

Do you ever wonder what you would do if you were being chased by a zombie? Last October on the weekend before Halloween, I got to find out the answer to that very important question. My friends Ashley, Anna, Vikram, and I decided to go to the Great America Fright Fest. It’s a very unique event where the whole park is decorated for halloween and filled with lots of scary attractions for the entire month. It had been a sweltering day for late October filled with lots of cotton candy and rollercoasters, and as the sun sank lower into the sky the real fun began.
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.
What would people do during a zombie apocalypse? What about a bird apocalypse. This is what happened in the short story, “The Birds”, by Daphne du Maurier. On farm in London one day the birds start to rebel against the humans and start attacking. In “The Birds”, Nat Hocken had better survival skills compared to Mr. Trigg because in the end of the story, Mr. Trigg’s family doesn’t survive, but Nat’s does.
“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).
A zombie is a monster that has been a horror movie legacy for many years now. Zombie is defined as “a dead person who is able to move because of magic according to some religions and in stories, movies, etc.” Zombies haven’t always been the creature that we see today though. George A. Romero merged the old-forgotten zombie into the standardized version we see today. James Conroy writes, “With his 1968 film Night of the Living Dead, George Romero brought the concept of the slow-moving, flesh-eating zombie into mainstream American culture.” (1) Night of the Living Dead not only set an iconic image for zombies, but it also brought issues you would not normally see in a Zombie film, dealing with race and gender stereotypes.

Choosing the right weapon can make a difference between a dead zombie or becoming one yourself. Always keep a weapon on you or around you at all times. Maybe even more than one. Some weapons include a gun, knife, bow and arrow, and any sharp object any item around you could mean life or death. Fighting a zombie is not only dangerous but it’s suicidal. If your weapons are out of reach you will have to fight them off. Use blankets and pillows to wrap your legs, torso, and arms so it is harder for the zombies to get
“Zombie killings are similar to reading and deleting 400 work e-mails on a Monday morning or filling out paperwork that only generates more paperwork, or following Twitter gossip out of obligation, or performing tedious tasks in which the only true risk is being consumed by avalanche” (41). These are all similar to zombie killings because zombies will never go away unless you turn to really harsh tactics like aiming for one’s brain with a shot gun and repeating this for every zombie you come in contact with. In order to clear those 400 emails after reading them you must repeat the steps for each and every one, which is time consuming and can be very frustrating. Completing paperwork is very tedious, and can sometimes become overwhelming you may begin to feel as if it will never end which is common well it can feel similar to that when it comes to zombie killings as well because there will be one zombie followed by another one and many more to come. “Battling zombies is like battling anything….. Or everything” (42). Never assume the war is over because it is not, there will be one or more zombies hiding out, the war is never over. “The zombies you kill today will merely be replaced by the zombies of tomorrow” (44). Zombies are a “live-stock” they are brain dead but they travel in packs and have no limit as to how far they will go. In the movie Dawn of the Dead the zombies actually

Distinguishing between zombies and humans, in general, is difficult due to many overlapping similarities in their characteristics. Both zombies and humans have a purpose that initially defines their existence. They both seek vegetative needs in order to survive and naturally crave reproduction, two behaviors that can lead to trouble in differentiating between the two. As portrayed in World War Z, the parasitic virus that controls the human corpse wants to survive at all costs. In World War Z Dr. Kwang states, “The boy began to twist in my direction, his arm ripped completely free” (Brooks 67). The zombie, as mentioned by the doctor, cared more about surviving and multiplying than preserving the corpse it possessed. It was unable to rationally realize that, in its situation, it would have been more practical to avoid amputating its arm; instead, it was motivated purely by hunger, and acted accordingly. Likewise, humans also possess a human body and reproduce, though not in the same manner. Furthermore, humans also seek vegetative needs like hunger, but are not purely and blindly motivated by that need. Thus, defining and distinguishing between zombies and humans can be accomplished in subtle differences between the two, and this analysis reveals certain aspects of human nature.
Now a high-school senior, I still remember my freshman year with a shudder; it was the year my friends and I joked about as the "Year of the Zombie." It wasn't that I had contracted a rare medical disorder that transformed me into one of the walking dead. I had done what many diligent students do: sacrifice most of my sleep time for the sake of academic success.
You don’t want to die alone now do you? Grab a partner or a friend as a meat shield so you can run away while they stand there getting slaughtered. Make sure you find some shelter and a nice secure door so they won’t be able to get in because zombies love breaking the doors down. If you’ve lost your mind because you’re not smart, you might hide in a house and be scared to death. Use your brain and go out there! Your brain might not be the most powerful tool for fighting, but you might’ve been dead before you could even fight with your brain. Fight ‘till every last zombie has died or until you died because your brain probably won’t help you at all with math equations, and writing essays because that’s not the point in the zombie
I will now proceed to amaze you by telling you that from a medical point of view zombies are possible. With the tweaking of a virus a zombie apocalypse can happen or at least something that closely resembles the principles that define a zombie. Which are it feeds on humans, has no concept of right or wrong, essentially is brain dead,works to spread the virus,transmit it through direct fluid contact with other humans blood stream or brain, and is killed by the destruction of the grey matter in their brains. Now you may be saying how in the world do you get that to happen. I will now explain that medically and scientifically a zombie virus is possible.
