                              the story is     World War Z        

                  Select one of the prompts below and produce a 2-page minimum, double-spaced essay in Times New Roman font.   Due  November 8th by end of day.

-  The zombies are obviously a central feature of World War Z, and they are, as we discussed in class, imbued with meaning and an obvious symbol.   With that in mind, discuss the symbolism of zombies in World War Z.  Consider how the different cultures approach the problem of the zombies and tie it to your analysis for bonus credit.

-  Choose one of the cultures from World War Z and provide an analysis of how they approach the zombie problem.   What does the approach tell us about those cultures?

Adopt the perspective and narrative style of World War Z and write a fictional account of how someone in Bowling Green or on WKU’s campus survived or experienced the zombie invasion.  Remember the few things we’ve discussed about fiction: remember the story arc, have a problem, and, on a technical level, keep  your sentences free of “extras” that will bore your reader
