Warm Bodies Analysis

American culture, particularly within the last century, has morphed and changed with each different crisis. However, there is always a recurrent monster that haunts us: the decrepit zombie. A creature described as fear itself - “... gray-skinned and bloodied, missing a limb … arms reaching out for supple flesh … it hobbles over its own intestines and chatters its decaying teeth” (Crockett, 2016). In a 2016 Vox article, a sociopolitical evaluation of the zombie was observed through American culture; it all starts from 1915 - Haiti gained independence from France, and then the United States occupied the island. An American man, William Seabrook, learned of the voodoo “zombi”, in which Haitians believed those with heavy sin lingered beyond death and became mindless servants.

Initially in the novel when the victims are arriving to the hospital they assume they are dead. Instead they are not dead they have just been placed in a zombie like state. To clarify, the Voodoo terminology of zombie is a person having no control or will of their own and they are controlled by a powerful practitioner, unless they are revived by a powerful practitioner they can easily be mistaken as dead, the most feared evil in Voodoo is a zombie. Allez had been turning girls into zombies and then selling them off to people that would purchase them. He uses Voodoo for his own self gain and to strike fear into others in order to have followers.

This story is Man vs. Man/creature, because Toby, Annabel, and Strobe have to hunt down or kill monsters. I feel like the story's theme is “Don’t judge a book by it's cover” because Toby thought his summer job would be a regular pizza place, but turned out to be a Monster hunting organization. Conclusion Annabel is captured towards the end of the story. Toby, Annabel, and Strobe defeat the Alpha Male Guttata Monster, which made the other Guttatus leave the city, because of their leaders death.

Reading this story, one could interpret not to take their life for granted. Even if one has absolutely no worries like the narrator did, one should always be conscious of the things going on around

In Golding’s novel, Jack’s tribe brings murder into play as an increment to dominancy over Ralph and the island. In the Flight Disaster, in fear of starving to death, the survivors take up cannibalism as their means of survival. These are both extreme cases of savagery, especially for human beings. The Andes Disaster article secures this to be inconvertible, “The group thus survived by collectively making a decision to eat flesh from the bodies of their dead comrades…most were classmates or close friends” (Andes Flight Disaster 2). No one in their right mind would willingly eat the remains of our own kind.

In spite of Odysseus’s warning, the crew is unable to restrain itself, slaughtering and consuming the cows of Helios to satiate the primal need to feast, despite knowing that they would likely die as a result of doing so. Human beings are programed for survival, just like all other animals. This makes the actions of Odysseus’s crew, their willingness to lay down their lives for a meal, so poignant. In contrast with the fate crew members meet at the hand of Polyphemus, this decision is a conscious suicide. The entire situation is pitiful, especially because it Eurylochus, a trusted advisor and friend to Odysseus, that leads the charge.

Also, kudos to Victor for making his fiend feel like "an unfortunate and deserted creature; [The monster looks] around [with] no relation or friend upon earth.[... ][He ’s] full of fears, for if [he fails] there, [he’s] an outcast in the world forever" (Shelley 122). Because of the villagers, the monster had become more educated, finding an efficient way to escape his eternal isolation. He first chose to confront the blinded man since he had no reaction when the monster approached him.

He call himself “Pointless, ridiculous monster crouched in the shadows, stinking of dead men, murdered children, martyred cows. ”(6), Grendel’s nihilism is exhibited in Chapter One when he spots the signs of spring and also notes places where he has committed extreme acts of violence. Him admitting his wrongs but having no remorse expresses that he knew what he was doing yet did not care who he hurt. The answer of whether or not Grendel was a truly evil monster can’t really be determined due to it being a matter of opinion.

Grendel, the ravaging monster who lies outside the borders of the Dane society, despises the cries of happiness and boastfulness. He is the “name of the grim demon,” who descended from the dangerous Cain (102). Representing the epitome of evil, Grendel attacks at night while all the villagers are feasting and drinking. Grendel's path of destruction lasted for 12 winters. His actions are motivated by real human emotions such as jealousy and wickedness.

He uses the word ‘hideous’ when describing himself because that's how he sees himself. However, no one was there to tell him that his personality counts as well, and he can still be happy. Unable to handle his fury, the creature murders Victor’s family and is seen as the monster everyone expected him to
