Class Notes for 9/1/10


Why are zombies so popular?
I think zombies have become so popular because of the idea that people rise from the dead or that they can not be killed. We always hear that people are afraid to die or afraid of death so I think the idea of zombies, since they are dead but as in monster island they are the “living dead”, then that threatens the living because they have this hunger for meat. Which then makes people fear for their life even more than before and as the zombie population grows the more people hide away and the more fear people have. Also I think zombies are easy to relate to for people because in ways they make zombies feel like our own human race. They experience feeling of hunger and of course they don't really have the brains but we still understand their desire for food.

Ideas from class
  • endless supply of something to kill
  • the idea that something like zombies is more possible now than ever before with illnesses and crisis, like a test for survival
  • fascinated with the idea of bring something back to life
