Vampires vs Zombies
Vampires and Zombies
Vampires and Zombies are common in today’s modern world through the use of the media. In this essay, I will be talking about how each of these beings say something about society, how vampires have been portrayed across time and how zombies have been portrayed. By doing this, I will use two references from TV shows.
The Walking Dead is an American horror drama television series, which is based on the comic book series of the same name. It tells the story of a small group of survivors living in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. The plot focuses on the dilemmas the group faces as they struggle to maintain their humanity during the daily challenges of surviving in a hostile world. Which includes battling the zombie packs, coping with victims and dealing with predatory human survivors. While watching an episode, I paid close attention to how the zombies affect the human world. The show began with a chief officer traveling in a deserted town, with cars all over the place and peoples belongings. When he came face to face with a zombie he had no idea what it was. It was a little girl who had bruises all over her body, blood on her clothing, huge bags under her eyes and a messed up mouth with blood leaking from it. She began to walk fast towards him like he was a predator so he shot her. When a gunshot goes off it draws the attention to the zombies where many of them will come together and create a pact. These pacts are dangerous because they are very hungry and they will eat you. Because of the zombie apocalypse people need to find a place and lay low from the zombies by blocking the windows with wood and blinds so the light doesn’t come in. The characters in the show, never stay in one place, they need to keep moving to find new a supply of food and water and potentially a safe place where they could stay for a while. If a zombie bites you you will get a fever where your skin slowly comes off and after a while you will come back as one
