The Great Panic

The part about the Great Panic that caught my attention was the incident in Topeka, Kansas. It is a four year old girl telling a story about her mother and her. The story took place in the a church and how her mother took her awaiting for their death. She talks about how the preacher tells everyone to relax and calm down and out of no where zombies start breaking windows and start to get into the church. She started to discuss how the parents were protecting there children and trying to figure out to get away. They started to build a barrier with the benches in the church. Someone ends up carrying Sharon outside and telling her to run and keep running. So Sharon ends up running away from the zombies. The part was that significant is that the way that Sharon tells the story. She tells it so vividly that she made the doctor that was present with her felt like they were in the church.

The story was important to me because it shows what people would go through in a zombie apocalypse. To hear such a traumatizing story that put doctor in shock from a 4 year old girl. When she was talking about the gun shots in the church, she even made movements with her arms to make it seem realistic.
