reading response--home front USA

There was a lot going on in this chapter. A certain 4 people had to be chosen and used for " bait " towards the zombies. cannibalism begins to occur in this chapter of course there was shame upon the people for participating but it was the only way to survive so it wasn't spoken of.  People start reminiscing on the "good times." everyone was traveling north per government orders. A lot of people had to take jobs that they were over qualified for to get them back on their feet. Turning all white collar workers into blue collar needed more of them then white--which meant labor work like farmers and running big machines. I felt like this kind of made it more real feeling as i was reading it, almost as if it kept painting the picture of like the time era of a great depression. Although the world was already in a way worse state than a great depression i think its a good comparison.
