My Zombies Myself Analysis

My Zombie, Myself

Me: Joshua, seriously, you need to get over yourself.

Josh: I can't! I can't believe that they would do something like this to me! It was only one assignment! How was I supposed to know that it was due yesterday?

Me: Don't worry to much man, its only one week, only one zombie.

Josh: One what??

Me: Zombie. You know like a problem or conflict you have to deal with. Life is full of them. Its one big extended metaphor I saw in an essay in AP the other day.

Josh: (unsure) Uh okay?

Me: So you know what Zombies are?

Josh: Yeah they are ones in the video games I play, like Plants v. Zombies and Call of Duty: Zombies.

Me: Sure! And what do Zombie's love to do?

Josh: Devour brains and human flesh.

Me: Lovely. But theoretically, yes. Like Zombies in your video

Mom: Actually yes, quite often.

Me: Well I was reading this essay in AP the other day and it really got me thinking.

Mom: Yeah? What was it about?

Me: It was titled: Emily Dickinson and Elvis Presley in Heaven. It was about Elvis and the famous poet, Emily Dickinson and how they both were in heaven together as friends.

Mom: Aren't they from total different time periods?

Me: Yeah thats why I thought it was weird. But they acted like they knew each other the whole time they were alive.

Mom: Huh. That is weird.

Me: Whats more is that they were both so young when they were in heaven. Both Dickinson and Presley were at least in their mid forties to mid fifties when they died.

Mom: Yeah I believe Dickinson was fifty-six and Elvis was forty-two. I was three when he died.

Me: Wow. I mean I guess in heaven everyone must be fairly young at least look like it when they are in heaven.

Mom: That makes sense. I mean that's how I've see heaven to look like. People when they were at their best health and happiness.

Me: Yeah also the whole idea of how they are from different times doesn't seem to bother
