World War Z blogger Home Front USA

Home Front USA was an interesting chapter. The first interview took place in New Mexico and it was talking about how the people in the United States needed to get back on their feet. They needed workers that knew how to work with their hands and they would be the people in power for all the jobs. This chapter also talked about things called quislings (100% humans, but act like zombies mentally) and how people would confuse them with zombies because of how they acted. Zombies could tell the difference between an actual zombie and a quisling. This chapter introduced a man named Roy who was making films using the military and showed zombies getting killed by lasers. In this chapter you find out that this zombie apocalypse is what causes ADS and that lies that were told was what kept people fighting to live rather than just giving up. Towards the end of the chapter it talked about Colonel Christina Eliopolis and her survival escape when she fell out of a plane and how she witnessed zombies in trees, etc. This chapter is important to the context of the story because it gives direct insight to the actual problems occurring in the U.S. after the zombie attack and how the U.S. is solving this problem. It's also important to the large context of the story because we get different point of views on how people will solve this zombie problem. I chose this chapter because I liked to read about how the U.S. was going to react to the situation. I liked reading about how that government handled it and what type of precaution steps that they took to make the situation better. The story about the quislings was really interesting because it was weird how a normal human being can act like a zombie if they really aren't a zombie. What makes their minds act like a zombie? This chapter develops topics about weapons and safety. We can discuss this in class and talk about how important those things were in this chapter. We can also talk about the syndrome ADS and how it affected many people in the book.
