Zombie Apocalypse


The filth and blood residing on my face was disgusting. I was disgusting. My hands were used to kill and my body was used to intimidate. I was soulless. Every time before I bite, I look into their eyes. They twinkle with fear as I lean down to sink my teeth into their body. It makes me sad.  I'm scary. But, my victims scare me too. Day after day I sulk around with my dis formed body. Pathetic is what I am, really. . From a distance I can see some humans trying to plan  their survival. It won't be long until they're just like me. Resisting the urge to bite is something I battle everyday--but I always give in. It's an addiction. I am now making my way over to them and they don't see me.  

  Those humans are just like me now. I fixed them. Every time after I bite, I feel guitly, but it doesn't take long before I lose it. Most of my aquaintences--the ones like me-- they don't feel. It seems as if I'm the only zombie with feelings. We've taken over quite a bit of the country. It's funny because I always wanted to be responsible for America, I used to want be president, but not like this. Not with such evil and inhumanity in my fickleing heart.  My barricade from the humans is in a tall, tall evergreen. I climb slowly and knock hundreds of bristles to the ground while I settle to sleep. 

My dreams haunt me and I haunt others. Even though I try to be worthy, I will never amount to much.  I am a zombie and it will be that way until I am killed by a human.

Blue Persistence Text Analysis


In the silent crescent moon air, 

A blue jay soars.---Going somewhere.

No reasoning. No purpose. 

She just soars.

No place. No physical spot,

But she knows where she's going.---Determined for her expedition.

Faith rests upon her soft blue wings,--She is faithful and confident in herself.

And they let her fly. ---Her confidence and faith helps her with her journey.

She flies to places where all the other birds told her she couldn’t go.---She wants to prove the birds wrong.

When she is perched proudly on top of a mountain, she chirped a prevailing chirp.—The blue jay accomplished her goal and was proud.

The other birds flew to the lowest branch of their grounded tree.--- The other birds weren’t so special anymore because they had a bad attitude that brought them down, hence the lowest branch.

Meanwhile, the blue jay remained on top of the tall mountain.--- She was strong willed and had a good attitude, so that benefitted her and put her in a "high" place. 


 This blue jay is strong and persistent. She’s been put down and has been told “No, no, no!”. The blue jay wants to be her own being and she wants out of the flock. When the blue jay begins to soar, as we see in the second line, we can tell she is determined to go somewhere even though she doesn't have an exact destination. In the line "faith rests upon her soft blue wings", that tells us that the blue jay is confident in herself.

 It’s common to be put down or discouraged by others.With that, the discouragement motivates that person, or being, to go and do exactly what they were told they couldn'tThere is a line that says"she flies to places where all the other birds told her she couldn't go".This line reveals why the blue jay felt proud on the mountain and it even explains the following line which was "she chirped a prevailing chirp".

 When it said "the other birds flew down to the lowest branch of the tree", that isn’t just about how they simply moved their position, it was about how their attitude brought them down and no place special. The blue jay had a strong willed, determined spirit, so that’s why she was tall on top of the mountain.
