The Zombie Survival Guide was one of the most interesting works of literature I’ve read so far in this class. I actually found myself wondering whether the virus that they said caused the zombie outbreak was real, but then I realized I was being stupid. Regardless, I thought it was fun to read because it transported me to a world where a zombie outbreak had actually occurred. This made me think about the questions we had been talking about in class and I came to the conclusion that when a zombie apocalypse happens, people are not the only ones who change. Society as well as class changes as well. For one, I was thinking about how poor people now had the upper hand because like it said in the excerpt from the book, poor people in poor neighborhoods were already used to danger so they had already taken precautions to make sure their houses and buildings were safe. Also, they already had to fend for themselves in more ways than one so they were much more prepared than the rich. Another big thing from the book that interested me was how they quoted the words “less fortunate”. This made me see that although we consider others in other countries less fortunate, we may really be the ones who are at a hindrance. For example, they know how to fend for themselves and generally eat healthier foods than us. Although we pride on our wealthy nation and all the material objects we have, they are the ones who are really winning because they know how to survive without appliances unlike Americans. Something from our discussion that I found interesting was differentiating between practicality and false practicality. For example, like Jonathan said, a surgeon would be useful in the general sense because they are skilled doctors, but in a zombie apocalypse they would not be useful if they don’t have any of their tools. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I found myself thinking about what I would really do during a zombie apocalypse and that’s how I knew The Zombie Survival Guide must be a really good book.
