Zombie craze

°I didn't know Dawn of the Dead wasn't the first zombie movie, I was always told it was

° I didn't think to compare zombies to our over obsession with technology, but when you think about it, it makes sense

°I always thought zombie movies we're just movies,.I never thought about the zombies actually symbolizing anything

°I think that zombie movies are cool and that the zombies symbolizing technology obsession makes throat sense of all the theories

°I think this article definitely ours some deep thought into zombie movies, but it goes a little too deep into analyzing them

° do zombies really represent anything, or are they just another took for scaring us in movies?

Weekly article 10/20/13 (1)

° I didn't know portraying emotion could be so hard

°I think that it would be easy to make female characters  they're not much different than make characters
