Chapter 5
After reading both chapter 5 and 6, chapter 5 seemed more
interesting to me. The author first meets with Xolelwa
Azania who is writing a book about Paul Redeker. She talks about the “plan
orange” that Redeker came up with. This plan explains who will survive, where
the civilians will go and where the safe zones were. People didn’t really like
him since his plan was so emotionless. He next interviews Philip Adler who
Philip had secured a command post at the Renaissance Hotel. He instructed his
men to attain resources, barricade the area and train the civilians. He was
instructed to abandon the civilians by General Lang and he doesn’t want to do
that. He planned to kill General Lang but he commits suicide. He then goes to a
sanatorium and meets with Bohdan Taras Kondratiuk. He tells the author about
his experience with the zombies.
The
author then travels to Canada and meets with Jesika Hendricks and she tells him
about how her family drives up north because her dad believes that zombies will
not be able to survive the cold. She describes the hardships she has to endure,
such as running out of gas, the cold and exchanging a radio monitor for stew.
Ultimately it was a bad decision. The last place he goes is India and he speaks
with Sardar Khan. Him and General Raj Singh were trying to close off certain
areas and there were multiple busses that were filled with zombies and
civilians.
I thought the interview with Jesika was
really interesting. The interview touched on the impact the zombies have on
family life. She talks about how her parents were constantly fighting and were
never in agreement about what to do. Clearly the zombie war affected the
economy, politics and family dynamics. I also thought it was interesting that
zombies could sustain life in the cold temperatures. This means that they were
basically immune to most things.
