I have to say, I would not continue reading Feed for a couple of reasons. First of all, like many said in class, I did not like the names of many of the characters in the novel. I didn’t mind it at first, but after getting a little ways in, it started getting on my nerves. I like originality, but these names did not have them. I also did not like how the three main characters basically have the same name. It got confusing for me because I did always know which was talking, and I had to take a second to figure it out. However, I did find it a fast read, and it did not take me too long to get through it, but it also wasn’t a page turner for me. What I mean by this is I could wait to get to the next page, and I wasn’t on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading. That is why I am probably not going to continue reading the series.

If I was alive for the zombie apocalypse, I believe I would whether live in the country for a number of reasons. One reason is that more people live in cities, which would mean that there would be more zombies. This would also be a disadvantage because it would be harder to find help, but hopefully, there would be fewer zombies. Secondly, there is far more wildlife in the country for for hunting and trapping, as well as edible plants. If I was in the city, most of the shops probably are being run over by zombies, so it would be hard to come across fresh food, and most of it would be scraps that just might make you sick. Thirdly, it also would be easier to come across fresh water in the the country than in the city. There are many natural lakes, rivers, and creeks to be found in the country, but you would probably have to leave the city to find them, which would make you vulnerable and an easy meal for the zombies if you are undefended and lack fighting and running skills. Lastly, I live in the country, so I would be more comfortable there because I already know the lay of the land, where as I do not in cities.

Honestly, I do not think I would survive that long. First of all, if the zombie apocalypse ever did break out, I would probably lose my marbles. If I was by myself, I do not think that I would have much courage, if any, to go fight the zombies and kill the zombies. I have also never used a gun in my life, so that would be another learning curve that I would have no time to adjust to. If I had a couple a close friends, that might help some, but none of them know how to fight except one so we are still screwed. The only way I can see me surviving for any length of time is if I got lucky enough and came across some brave person who is not terrified of the zombies that could protect me and teach me how to use a gun and defend myself. However, the chances of that are pretty slim, so I would give myself two weeks before I died from the zombies or natural causes.

If I were the last person on earth, what I would probably enjoy the most would be the freedom. Humans have a tendency to hold each other back and give each other restrictions. So, without other humans being around, I would be able to do whatever I wanted. For example, I could sleep in as long as I want, and not have to listen to people nag at me to do things. However, this would probably be short lived because I would be terrified being alone, and also not knowing where my next meal is coming from. Keira Mahoney

In my opinion, the characters in Get Out are not zombies. The reason why I think this is because they do not look like the walking dead. All of their limbs are intact, and their skin is not greenish greyish. In general, they look like normal humans. I think that instead of being the living dead, they might be possessed with some kind of strange being, or might have some strange disease that the government leaked out, but never told the world that they did. Furthermore, these people just do not have the qualities that zombies should have. So, that is why I think that they are not zombies in Get Out.         Keira Mahoney
