Ok, I thought long and hard to think of a new approach to
our zombie topic. I had no inspiration until my friend Wednesday night asked me
if I wanted to go to a party. Yes, there was a party on a Wednesday night. Shockingly
enough, I turned down the invitation. If it had been later on in this semester,
I would have gone in a heartbeat, but that isn’t relevant to my point. This
might be the most hypocritical thing I have ever written in my life, but I
believe college partiers could be compared to zombies with their lack of
thought or care about the after effects of their actions at a party. As a party
goer, I have had done quite a few things mindlessly, like a zombie, that later
on I realized that if I weren’t in a party mindset I would not have ever done
them normally.
The partiers of my generation only think about the moment.
We do things ‘for the vine.’ At parties, people tend to become mindless idiots
letting either the atmosphere or some type of substance they have consumed
infect them into a zombie-like mindset. (I just called myself a mindless idiot…wow)
Though not all partiers are not brain dead. The ones who get
the task of designated driver are far from mindless. I could compare DDs to
zombie killers. DDs chop off the head of a party zombie, when the infection of
the party has gone too far, by taking home the party goer.
I hope my comparison makes sense. What do you think is this
comparison too far-fetched?
I always think you can compare anything to anything, especially with in English classes. I personally don't care for parties in general but especially college parties because I always end up caring for people. Drunk doesn't look good on anyone, I can assure you. All people that conform to something are zombies because they won't think for themselves a majority of the time.
ReplyDeleteI have been on both sides of parties. I rather enjoy being on the zombie side of parties.
DeleteHa! An interesting set of comparisons!
