Three Interesting Facts

Good evening or good morning everyone!

Let me start out by saying that when I went to click on making a new blog post, I saw that stats for all of our previous blog posts. Have you seen how many times some of the posts have been looked at? A lot of them are above 40 views, which isn't a ton of people, but I still find it amusing that other people take the time to read what everyone says.

So, a few people were out when we got to hear a gist of everyone's interesting facts, and I would like to hear what everyone thinks to be their most interesting fact!

I'm just going to leave a video here that I made for one of my old English classes describing my interesting facts. It should sum up everything quite nicely.

Now onto the zombie topic. I can almost assure every single one of you will be sick and tired of zombies by the end of this class. See, I just finished reading the little article, "Walking Dead": Zombies for a recession-age America by Matt Seitz. I completely agree with his assumption that most audiences don't watch the zombie flicks for the zombies. People watch zombie flicks to see how others would react to survival like situations. I would also agree with his point that zombie flicks basically start and end the same exact way, making the genre a tough one to get into. That's where The Walking Dead is different, because the story line is expanded upon. I wouldn't trust Seitz's judgment too much though, because when he was analyzing the first Walking Dead episode, he didn't understand that there was a flashback involved, and not just that he forgot about an entire zombie apocalypse. He very well may be missing key parts of other movies he is mentioning in his post as well.

Anyhow, that was just my two cents on the reading.

We may see each other on Monday, or we may not? I heard there's supposed to be 4-6 inches of snow.
Stay safe everyone!


Love,

Laura

  1. I think the genre would have larger following if the zombie was expanded. Such as what if the zombies regenerate and become self aware, eventually leading to a war betweem man and "new man". The new zombie heards men like cattle and farms humans for food.
    Thats just a quick idea but it really adds to the aspect of a zombie.
