Creepy Zombie Game

Honestly, today was one of the best classes we've had so far. Although we started off sort of awkwardly and without really knowing what to do, I think it transitioned into not only a fun game, but also one that shows that things like The Zombie Survival Guide aren't completely made up. By this I mean that what the book said actually applied to a "real life scenario". For example, the idea of inversion completely applied. The places you would want to be at and the people that you would generally trust, like the government, are inverted and are the ones that you should avoid. For example, although in zombie apocalypses people hope for the government to come and save them, in our case it was the government who reinforced our death. This is true not only for the ones who tried to run down the approach and got shot at, but also for me and Jonathan and the others who trusted the CDC and ended up being kidnapped and having to live in labs. Another thing that we saw which was predicted in our reading is that we should avoid public places because mobs are formed. When we were in Carnegie and we were all in the hall, the fights started and Kyle got left behind because he was trapped in the back of the group. Another big thing that I found interesting about the game was that some people are capable are adapting quickly while others are not. We had to learn to adapt not only in the game, but also adapt to the type of exercise. Today I learned adaptability is crucial for survival during a zombie apocalypse and also for a good participation grade in Lit.
