Zombie Apocalypse Speech

“What the….,” she started to laugh. Standing up while dusting herself off, a look of curiosity

Of course, I’m sure you have heard of “Ring around the Rosie”, but did you know it may be inspired by the cause of more than 20 million Europeans? This pandemic was called Yersinia Petsis, but more commonly called “Black Death” because of the dark patches and swellings on the skin of its host. This disaster came from trade with other countries, but once transmitted to America it spread by rodents and fleas. The Black Death may have been spread by seemingly harmless creatures, but it caused death in about three days.

“Yeah, but you need to make sure that you’re ready no matter what,” Kara replied.

Kyra’s alarm clock woke her up every Monday morning at 6:00 am to go to her Alcohol awareness meeting that took place at her local church. This early hour of the morning proved to be a bit difficult to wake up at, especially for someone who was out all night the night before partying and drinking. This particular Monday morning proved to be no different as Kyra’s alarm clock woke her up once again at 6:00 am.

“I don’t go down for long,” she said almost being flippant. “I’m okay with the stuff. I only go down if I do an awful lot of it.”

"So everything was like in slow motion" I questioned to him as I made it the other side of the river before the boys.

"I really have to go to the bathroom. Can you wait here for me?" Zack said, his face was a little red.

“Whatever,” she said as she looked away, pretending to be occupied by looking at something outside of the car.

Angrily, I gathered my clothes and the rest of my belongings, then headed to the car. As I strode into the cove of trees, I suddenly heard a voice.

“I don’t care,” you hissed, bristling like a cornered cat. “I’d rather leave than have to look at you, and I bet you want me gone, anyway!”

Over several years, the scientific research of alcohol and its affects on the human body and brain have gradually progressed. Most people who indulge in alcoholic beverages do not think of the consequences it may have on their bodies over time. Alcohol can affect the nervous system, as well as the peripheral nervous system, which controls the nerves throughout your entire body. Consuming excessive amounts of alcohol over an extended period of time can lead to a series of problems that impair the muscle tissue and brain. Neuroimaging and advanced technology has shown changes in blood flow in and around the brain, the brains metabolism, and the neurophysiological measures in the brain. Alcohol remains a poisonous toxin that affects the nerves

“Y-yeah, I’m fine. Just a nightmare.” I replied laughing awkwardly. But deep down inside I was probably distressed as the maid was.

When the alcohol reaches the brain, it alters the normal chemical signals and neurotransmissions. Since the brain is in charge of controlling all bodily processes, many motor and psychological functions are compromised. Alcohol can cause the lack of inhibitions and coordination, lethargy, depression, and the death and deterioration of neurons (“How Alcohol”). Leonard Goldberg and his associates conducted a study in order to look at the physiological and behavioral effects of alcohol on the body. He conducted numerous experiments, testing the subjects’ eye movements, swaying of the body, motor skills, and behaviors after becoming intoxicated. The correlation between blood alcohol and each of these different variables proved that an increase in blood alcohol directly related to the inability for the individual to accurately perform each test (Goldberg). Montressor notes that Fortunato “accosted [him] with excessive warmth” on the night they meet. He also notices “the gait of [his] friend was unsteady, and the bells upon his cap jingled as he strode”(Poe 274-275). Both observations give ample proof that Fortunato was indeed intoxicated.

The other man let out a frustrated sigh, “it would've made some kind of noise.”

In Jill Dombrauckas’s (2015) report, she discussed that the Pennsylvania DUI Association made a large amount of researches about alcohol’s effect on body systems. In one research, alcohol affects the central nervous system which means when the individual drink alcohol, the messages that are carried to and from the brain and the body’s muscles can be slowed delivery. For example, the incoming signals from the brain, like the painful sensory that will decrease the injury’s awareness. Also the signals from the brain to the muscles will lead the motor skills becoming insensitive.
