Task three: Preparing your home

In Brooks's non-fiction print entitled "The zombie Survival Guide: Preparing your home", he states that there are three things you need to follow in order to survive a zombie apocalypse. The author supports his claim by putting in steps on barricading your home, supplies/equipment, and how to survive an attack. To barricade your home, put a six foot tall chain linked fence around your home. If you live in an apartment complex, get to the second floor and destroy the stairs to make sure zombies dont get to the second floor. As Brooks states, "Another advantage of the apartment complex is its large population... an apartment building can be defended by all of its tenants" (Brooks). The author next proceeds to show that you need supplies and equipment to survive against zombies. If you are storing guns and ammunition, you should have enough ammo for one person if not, make sure everyone has the same amount. Equipment that you neef would be clothing, toilet paper, toold, and some kind of generator for electricity. Finally, the author argues that you need to learn how to survive an attack. If you have more than one person you should have different times to patrol si everyone can rest. If you are alone patrol until it gets dark, then you should sleep lightly and near a weapon and flaslight. Also you should have a latrine in your backyard in a corner and a vegatable garden if the soil and weather allows it.

Task two: Know Your Zombie

In Voytek's non-fiction pamphlet entitled "The Science of Surviving The Zombie Apocalypse", he states that there are five defects a zombie has that you can abuse to stay alive. The author supports his claim by listing the defects zombies have and talks of the research he has done on the brain of a zombie. The first two defects zombies have are that they are slow so you can out run them and they suffer from amensia, allowing you to hide from them to forget about you. The author next proceeds to show that zombies are easily tricked and suffer heavy brain damage. As Voytek explains, "...the walking dead suffer from a condution they called.Consciousness Deficit Hypoactivity Disorder" (Voytek). Zombies are immune to pain and are easily distracted. Finally, the author argues that the last defect zombies suffer from is capgrass delusions. Capgrass delusions confuses the zombie when you mimic it, making think you are a zombie too in order to buy some time and get to safety.

"Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse"

In Ali Khan's non-fiction article entitled "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse", she states that surviving a zombie apocalypse is like surviving a natural disaster. The author supports her claim by telling you what you need for an emergency kit. The emergency kit includes food, water, medication, tools and supplies, sanitation, hygiene, clothing and bedding, important documents, and first aid supplies. The author next proceeds to show that an emergancy plan is important for any natural disaster. An emergancy plan includes two locations you and your family can meet, identify that disaster,and find out what emergancy contacts you must contact. Finally, the author argues that the CDC is prepared to assists. The CDC will get invovled and find out what started out what started the apocalypse and will help anyone they can and research the zombies to find a cure. "This assistance might include consulation, lab testing and analysis, paitent management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine)" (Khan).
