Synopsis

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion is not your average zombie book. In most books you are usually frightened by zombies and fear for the living characters’ life but in this book it is the exact opposite: you sympathize for the zombie. It makes you want to find a zombie and love it. In this comedy/romance novel, R, the main protagonist and narrator, is that zombie that we love so much. He tells us his thoughts and how he is feeling like any story told through first person point of view. Throughout the story we notice that his character begins to change. He wants to know what it is like to feel, to love, to lust. He wants to know what it was like to live again, heart beating and all.
One day when he was out to go get his brains for dinner he comes across a group of humans. Within these groups of humans he eats the brain of Perry Kelvin, …show more content…

This quoted is my favorite part of the book because it introduces R’s best friend, M. M is the really sarcastic, funny zombie that just makes you want to strangle him (because that’s what I wanted to do) but yet love him at the same time, or at least I do. He has been by R’s side no matter how annoying or funny he is. He has been the one who kept R going, who inspired him to go after the girl. He says things that make you really mad, sad, or happy, and that is what’s great about M; he is just the guy that is behind you to support you.

• “We smile because this is how we save the world. We will not let Earth become a tomb, a mass grave spinning through space. We will exhume ourselves. We will fight the curse and break it. We will cry and bleed and lust and love, and we will cure death. We will be the cure. Because we want it.” (page

    1777 Words  | 8 Pages

    Isaac Marion, the author of Warm Bodies, focuses on many different things while writing his novel. One of the things he stresses on is the use of teamwork. Throughout the novel he portrays the importance of teamwork, for both the zombies and the humans. In addition to focusing on how teamwork helps each “side” get through the task they have at hand we could see that there are certain ways that the team should be separated in order to be efficient. Throughout the novel, the humans are faced with a lot of challenges whose chances of success would increase through the use of teamwork.

  • The Hot Zone Book Review

    1093 Words  | 5 Pages

    The central idea of Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone is that the outbreaks of many deadly hot agents are due to the oversight of humans. Preston conveys his message through detailed descriptions of simple mistakes that characters make. One instance of human oversight that he wrote about was the usage of dirty needles in the hospitals of Sudan, leading to a massive outbreak of Ebola Sudan. The virus “hit the hospital like a bomb” and “transformed the hospital at Maridi into a morgue” all because “the medical staff had been giving patients injections with dirty needles” (74).

  • Stereotypes In Monster Culture

    The excerpt from warm body show even though we envision zombies as heart less, and incapable of any feeling they are very similar to us. The reading has been my favorite by far, and has opened my eyes to another side of zombies. The narrator is R, and is a guy who is dead. I found it interesting how the zombie acted as people stereotyping each based on their clothing very much like us. In Cohen article he states in Monster Culture “We distrust and loathe the monster at the same time we envy, its freedom, and perhaps its sublime despair.”

  • Irony In Roy's Newberry Honor Badge

    140 Words  | 1 Pages

    Although the novel isn't a challenging read, it's still deserving of its Newberry Honor badge. The side plots and twists were intriguing and flowing, especially when Roy's cunning plan to expose Mother Paula's had failed. The story organizes itself admirably, tying together plot events in a tight knot. Even Mullet Finger's conflict with his mother intertwined with Mother Paula's defeat as Lonna over glorified her son's actions for popularity. Despite the story's quality, the novel maintains a regrettably low reading level.

  • Jade Harley Short Story

    1315 Words  | 6 Pages

    And dear old eccentric Grandpa Harley slowly atrophied over a course of two years. Well, not noticeably at least; she couldn 't blame the medical staff for his death, not when they all tried so hard in a profession they were destined for. Yet even with the correctional vision of her glasses (she refused to get correctional surgery, just like her grandpa in those forgotten times of the technological revolution), Jade could never see how the charismatic, goofy old man who loved having tea parties with silly-looking blue lady dolls with the quirky, wide-toothed smile could deteriorate into a living zombie. Eyes weren 't supposed to change color, but she swore that his emerald eyes, which glimmered and twinkled with all the vivacity of a life lived to the fullest and the thrill of ADVENTURE!, dulled into a ghostly, mocking white - the same hue which adorned the bedsheets, the uniforms, the equipment, and, simply,

  • Metaphors In The Walking Dead

    1308 Words  | 6 Pages

    But when looked at closely, the character of the zombie is an incredibly strong metaphor for humans themselves, which people may not be quick to admit. Humans are taught to fear zombies and maybe this is all very well, but in the film, “Warm Bodies”, this concept is changed. For the most part, the film is told from a zombie’s perspective, in this case through the character of ‘R’. As he begins to fall in love with the character of Julie, he begins to feel human emotions again. Humans feel things, emotions that can be hard to fathom and people become broken and this can be mirrored in the figure of the

  • The Man In Brown Suit Agatha Christie Character Analysis

    I read the book “The Man in brown suit” by Agatha Christie on recommendation of a colleague. A colleague with whom I often have book conversation over a coffee and at times we both gossip about book characters like people do about a beautiful divorced woman living next door without any regret or guilt of being alone! There was a time when we discussed some of the characters like Scarlett o’hara, Howard Roark, Miss skitter, Dangny Taggart and many more in detail and reached to the point of behavioral analysis and that was the point when she always insisted that I must read Agatha Christie. I started with one of her crime based novels “Man in brown suit”. I liked it and when I was leaving India for indefinite period she gifted me Agatha Christie’s

    I really love this book so much that I can’t decide which favorite part of the book I should tell because I really like every part of this book so maybe I’ll just tell three of my favorite part of this book. My first favorite part of the book was when Day’s older brother John said that he would rather die for Day than see them hurt him. This part really touches my heart and while reading that line it made me felt that I was Day he was talking to. Imagine he would do anything and even risk his own life just to save his brother, how lucky Day was.
