What my story is going to be about is zombies. When I think about the words zombie I think of something that is like the living dead. I don't know if you ever saw the show called the walking dead.
First, I think zombies are cool, but scary at the same time. Like if saw a zombie locked up I would not get scared. If there was a zombie about to kill me I would get scared. I would love to have zombie every where so I can kill them. I'm not saying i'm a killer but I never shot a gun really. So it will not be hard to get some target practice.
Second, the zombies trace all the way back to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "zombie" first appeared in English around 1810 when historian Robert Southey mentioned it in his book "History of Brazil."
What makes us alive and what makes the zombies dead or undead? Well it all has to with neuroscience and most importantly the brain. The biggest question is what the requirements of life are?

The article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead,” written by Chuck Klosterman, discusses the reasons behind zombies becoming so popular. Klosterman writes that rise of popularity of zombies is different than that of vampires. He states that most monsters are initially created as representations of fear. Similar to that of Frankenstein or vampires, Klosterman explains that zombies could be viewed in the same light; however, zombies are better explained as an allegory for our day to day existence. Rather than some innate fear, Klosterman highlights this fact to be why zombies have risen to such high popularity.
Vampires and zombies are both fictional. However, one does have more of a possibility of being real. The origin story of vampires is that they were the dead rising from hell to wreak havoc; this makes it hard to believe they could exist, considering not everyone believes in an underworld. On the other hand, bacteria are all around us and spread viruses all over the world. This is the origin of the modern day zombie, they are no longer the dead becoming the living, instead, it’s a highly contagious virus that spreads throughout the world. There is even a type of fungus that has been known to “zombify” ants. Making the chance of a zombie invasion even more
Andrew Jackson was a self-proclaimed advocate of the common man, and his terms as president from 1828 to 1836 were characterized by many positive and negative changes, often concurrently. The Jacksonian period marked both an economic recession and opportunity, and simultaneously an attempt to champion the rights of the common man, with the concrete evidence of greater voter percentage, but less political rights regarding those officeholders. The economy changed when a relatively stable economy was plunged into the Panic of 1837 and the recession, while the west opened up to white settlement after the Indian’s forced removal. The political rights of the common man largely stayed the same from before to after the period (though rights decreased
There are many movies and TV shows about zombies that make people want to fear them. This has been an occurrence and they now have a web page full of examples of the time zombies ever came. To support my example, "Noneless, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a "Zombie Preparedness Web Page. " This shows how if there is an apocalypse you can be prepared.
The terror of death typically consumes people, therefore, they must prepare for anything to happen. Not knowing what to expect can make it difficult to prepare for if the event has yet to happen. People planning to survive the zombie apocalypse must follow the process of gathering weapons, finding the items necessary to survive, and learning to use surrounding items to fight zombies.
The zombie originally came from a Haitian Voodoo culture. The word zombie in Haitian is “Zombi” and means “spirit of the dead”. The original concept was based around the use of black magic by Voodoo priests. They possessed an ability in which they could resurrect the dead through use of an orally issued powder called, coup padre (“Zombie” 1). According to legend the first zombi(e) was, “...someone who has annoyed his or her family and community to the degree that they can no longer stand to live with that person.

Mike Mariani is a writer in Hoboken, New Jersey with many of his stories published to The Atlantic. Mariani’s main audience is anyone in the general public or any individual that could be lacking information in history of zombies. There have been many myths of zombies. But the oldest ones first appeared in Haiti during the 17th and 18th centuries. This form of zombies is described as slaves that were brought in from Africa and worked to death. Once they were worked to death, this lead to the importation of more. Once a slave was worked to death, they were denounced to the Hispaniola plantations for life. Their bodies had no use
Zombies, as we know them today, have mortified movie viewers for the last forty six years. Modern zombies first appeared in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in 1968. These zombies were the slow moving, staggering ghouls that one has seen in countless films, but in 1985, Return of the Living Dead featured a new kind of zombie, the first fast moving and talking ghoul. Both Night of the Living dead 1968 and Return of the Living Dead 1985 feature the zombie as its villain, but Return of the living dead’s fast moving, talking zombies are a more modern take on the movie monster.
The Stupid Zombies have actually increased once more, as well as our heroes are on the step!
Death has been our ultimate fear since the beginning of creation as we speculate our own demise from this world. From the moment of conception, we slowly begin the death process hypnotizing on whether it would be a painful or quick departure. Nevertheless, when the dead return, they become our living nightmare. The walking dead is the pinnacle of frightened imagines engraved in our culture having an uncontrollable appetite for human flesh. They are the perfect fighting machine that will be on top of the food chain once the pandemic arrives. Ancient cultures have foretold of evil tormented souls escaping a life sentence from the grave. Primitive cultures believe that if we don’t honor the dead, they will return seeking revenge. Cannibalism is
While the idea of zombies or where they were first originated from can be debated by many different countries, several of these myths have reoccurring plots of how humans passed away, and found a way to come back from the dead. No matter what story is being told from around the world about zombies, they all seem to originate from a dark power being used to bring someone back from the dead. Throughout the centuries; however, we have adapted towards our new technology and now many zombie stories include either a deadly virus that escaped from a lab or a biological disease that somehow evolved and helped reanimate people; yet, didn’t completely bring them to life as the functioning citizens they used to be. Although the story of how zombies came to be has changed due to technological advances, in both cases zombies seem to represent a punishment and a plague to the human species and are condemned as evil beings, or ungodly. With increasing popularity in American society, it is evident that the main explanation its popularity are because it depicts survival or an individual or group of individuals, shows a new society that isn’t overly sanitized or censored, gives people with regular lives an opportunity to live vicariously through the characters and furthermore shows that consumerism isn’t a necessity.

Scary movies are one of the most popular genres out there, as well as mystery and crime books— this is because deep down people love to be scared. People are attracted to things they can’t explain and feelings, like fear, that they can’t control. The idea of zombies taking over our world is a very scary thought and it has been a growing fear in recent years in our society. Not only is the thought of our loved ones, neighbors, friends, or possibly even yourselves being undead and attacking your fellow community is a terrifying and disturbing thought. Fear of the unknown also plays a major role in the interest of zombies, and because no one knows exactly how our society will come to an end, we are terrified at the thought that it could be by a horrible outbreak. We like structure and safety in America, and for the most part we favor on the side of having more control. In the event of an apocalypse, all of those things would crumble, and the world would become complete chaos. That factor scares people, but also entices them at the same time. We are worried about a time with no rules or order, but also we are curious about what it would be like to lash out and act violently without getting in trouble. We also are fearful of a time when status and wealth does not matter. For example, in World War Z, the
