Write a four-page essay comparing two stories we read in the second half of the semester using one of the following topics:
– Research the concept of apocalypse and end times. Compare how the concept is used in two stories.
– Compare the representations of zombies in two stories. What do they represent?
– In mythical stories of resurrection there is a rebirth or renewal of life, nature, and civilization. Is this true in zombie fiction? Answer this question using two stories.
– Blood, guts, and brains (oh my!) are important characteristics of zombie fiction. Examine the role of the grotesque in two stories.
– How is zombie fiction changing? Using two stories, examine the development of the genre.
– Develop your own topic. Come talk to me first.
