ok, i had to write a persuasive essay in class but it couldnt be on any hot tpic trendy issue
so i went with my gut and did a zombie essay!
now, mind you its only its in first draft, and alot of info might be off, so i want you guys to read it, and then rip the shit out of it
tell me where i ****ed up, seriously i want you to treat my essay like it was written by hitler (well maybe not that bad but you get the idea)
pretty much my whole argument is why Romero styled zombies are easier to kill and survive through
anyway heres my paper (its a bit of a read)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Have you ever found yourself attacked by a large group of zombies? Chances are you haven’t, but in the case that you are you should pray that at the very least you are going up against Romero styled zombies. What do I mean by Romero styled exactly? George Romero was considered the godfather of zombie flicks, he set the basic ground rules for most zombies. So, when I use the term Romero styled zombie, it means any zombie with the power and ability of a zombie from his movie. In this essay I will demonstrate why Romero styled zombies are the easiest to handle versus a zombie from another movie.
Firstly, a Romero styled zombie is a slow moving, decaying flesh-eating ghoul to put it bluntly. A Romero styled zombie can be destroyed, I object to using the term killed because a zombie is already dead, by destroying the head. In other words a gunshot to the head or removing the brain in some manner will render them a pile of puss. They are not intelligent, retaining only a few basic motor skills such as eye hand coordination and very limited reasoning capability, they aren’t going to be solving Rubik’s cubes any time soon. They are fairly weak and frail but the danger in them lies in numbers and being surprised, as they make little to no sound. One or two will not pose a threat, the problem lies in being trapped and having no escape. One bite will ultimately kill the zombies intended victim, not only ending their life but later transforming the once alive victim into a flesh-eating ghoul like themselves. These Romero styled zombies might not be fun to deal with, but when you compare them with other zombies and their abilities, such as the zombies from Return Of The Living Dead or ROTLD for short, then you will have a clear understanding of why Romero’s zombies aren’t so bad.
There are many different zombie movies, comic books, songs, even video games, and it seems that zombie lovers cant come to the general consensus of what zombies are ability’s are. Everyone has their own idea. Before George Romero’s night of the living dead zombies were considered to be more like ghosts, it was first some comic books that made them into our lovable undead cannibal buddies of today, but the night of the living dead movie brought zombies into the lime light. So the first zombies were powers were either ghosts or the voodoo zombie of Haiti, the voodoo zombie does not eat its victims and is more of a tool than a disciple of hell, doing its master’s bidding without question. But this essay focus’s on the flesh-eating zombies. Some examples I will use are ROTLD, Peter Jacksons Dead Alive, the remake of dawn of the dead (DOTD 04), Zombi 2.
Firstly, the advantage of a Romero styled zombie outbreak is that it is not contagious except through direct contact, in other words a bite. In ROTLD the infection was spread through a chemical originally developed to spray on pot fields called Tritoxin 245. This woke the dead and converted the living into brain hungry zombies. The ROTLD zombies only ate brains, exclusively. The reason for this, you find out in the 3rd installment of the series, if because they need neurons to function properly, but all theirs are dead so they eat brains to get a short burst of neurons temporarily making them not feel pain. The reason they are so difficult to deal with is that not only does a bite transform the living into the dead, but previously dead and alive people both touched by the gas awake in a hungry rage due to the gas. Also the ROTLD zombies are nearly indestructible, a headshot will not kill them it would take you burning down the entire body or dismembering it.
Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive film was a very interesting piece of work. A low budget, but very high quality zombie film, it strayed a bit from conventional rules. The film was more of a comedy than anything, but nonetheless a great piece of work. These zombies are as well nearly indestructible as well, in fact Dead Alive is known as being the goriest film ever due to the horrible manner in which the zombies must be destroyed, it was done with a lawnmower. The remake of Dawn of the Dead, DOTD 04, features Romero styled zombies, if they were on PCP. These are not the same slow moving, room temperature IQ ghouls from the old days, these zombies are as fast as Nigerian runners and as angry as nothing you can imagine. Of course the headshot puts them down, but when a zombie is charging you at 15 miles per hour plus it’s hard to make every shot count. The other zombie style has actually been used in more movies than the Romero styled zombie, the Lucio Fulci zombie. Lucio Fulci is an Italian director, he created the movie zombie or Zombi 2, both are the same title, Italians are weird and so keep changing the name. These zombies are the closest living, or undead, relatives to the Romero styled zombies. Headshots puts these puss-bags in the place as well, they transfer the infection through a bite, and they are very slow moving and stupid as well, except they always catch up or outsmart the hot blonde running through the woods go figure. The reason they are more dangerous is because even though they have nearly the exact same powers as Romero’s zombies, they always happen to be at the right place at the worst time, so maybe they are more intelligent. In addition to that they also happen to fight sharks transforming them into zombie sharks, I don’t think zombie sharks are an ideal friend or foe. These factors I just explained should emphasize why Romero styled zombies are easier to deal with.
For more convincing I will give examples of when a person has been killed in one of the movies discussed in the previous paragraph, then explain why they would either be alive or have a much better chance of living if they were involved in a Romero styled zombie flick. For instance take DOTD 04, the character CJ would have been able to not only repel the zombies from his stranded position by the waterside in the paralyzed van, but could have done so in a slow and calculated manner. Unfortunately for CJ, the DOTD 04 zombies were much to fast and vicious, resulting in an early death for him. Another scene of interest would be in ROTLD when the zombie horde rushed the police barricade killing all the police. If they were Romero styled zombies the police would have had a fighting chance because they would have moved slower, had a much lower intelligence, and could be killed with a shot to the head. So in this instance all the zombies would have been killed and all the police safe.
These are the reasons why Romero styled zombies are not only easier to dispatch, but to survive in general. All it takes is a shot to the head they move very slowly and aren’t the brightest, and finally, they just aren’t up to par with some of their zombie brethren. There are still many types of zombies out there, a few of which were covered in this essay. Just remember that zombies don’t actually exist and that this is all hypothetical."
