Despite there being hundreds of video game releases every year, most of these games are unoriginal and therefore unplayable. There are countless video game genres, but one of the most popular genres in the past few years have been the zombie games, also called survival games. I was thoroughly convinced that all the games in this genre were clichéd and overdone, until I played the video game The Last of Us. Even though it is a survival game, the focus is not on gruesome zombies or gratuitous violence, making it already vastly different from the others. Instead, the focus is on telling a story. Between the gorgeous graphics, serene music, and flawless acting, it already goes beyond being just another “zombie game,” but this isn’t even accounting …show more content…
Joel confusedly looks around and behind him he sees a scared Sarah shaking him awake, Tommy just outside of the truck, and directly in front of him, he sees a family being attacked by somebody infected, which jolts him awake and back into reality. With the car now being sideways after the crash, in order to get out, Joel uses all his strength and starts to kick the windshield in front of him until it shatters. Joel carefully crawls out then reaches in for Sarah, avoiding the shards of glass on the ground and still bordering the windshield. Just as she starts to climb out and stand up, she falls over and complains that her leg hurts. A noticeably worried Joel grabs his revolver from his jean pocket then hands it over to Tommy and demands he protect them. Joel picks Sarah up and with her in his arms, they begin running for safety. As Joel sprints through the streets with Sarah in his arms and Tommy just a few feet in front of them, chaos erupts everywhere. In any given direction, there are either citizens or infected individuals dashing through the streets, with dozens of people being attacked along the way. In addition, there are explosions and many cars accidents with one car even driving straight into a gas station, causing it to blow up. Sarah at one point looks at the gas station then alarmingly utters, “those people are on fire,” to which Joel tells her not to look, prompting her to close her eyes and …show more content…
Joel pleads for help, making sure to tell the soldier that he thinks Sarah’s leg is broken. After the soldier radios in, asking for advice, it is heavily implied that the soldier is ordered by ear to shoot them. After slight hesitation, the soldier lifts his rifle and fires at the two. Joel practically flies in the opposite direction of the soldier for cover, only causing him and Sarah to stumble and fall down a small hill. The soldier hastily follows them and aims his gun directly at Joel’s head. Joel begs for his life and is saved when the soldier is shot and falls over. Just as Joel picks his head up and looks, the camera also pans left to reveal Tommy, with Joel’s revolver in hand. Immediately after, Joel hears crying and jumps to Sarah’s side who he notices was shot and is excessively bleeding from her abdomen. Joel tries to comfort her and applies pressure to her wound in an attempt to save her life, but in response are only heart-breaking shrieks and cries from Sarah, who is clasping onto her dad, until the cries finally stop and she dies in his arms. Joel breaks down hysterically crying, shaking, and tightly hugging his daughter as beautiful yet dark instrumental music begins to chime in in the background up until the screen cuts to the title of the game, The Last of Us, followed by the opening
No book has captivated the zombie apocalypse better than World War Z. Max Brooks creatively presents “a worldwide zombie pandemic from outbreak to aftermath” (Boyd, Tristan). His book encompasses many social and political themes in the world today. The book reveals true fear and shows the strength of the human race.
Sarah and her mother are sought out by the French Police after an order goes out to arrest all French Jews. When Sarah’s little brother starts to feel the pressures of social injustice, he turns to his sister for guidance. Michel did not want to go with the French Police, so he asks Sarah to help him hide in their secret cupboard. Sarah does this because she loves Michel and does not want him to be discriminated against. Sarah, her mother, and her father get arrested for being Jewish and are taken to a concentration camp just outside their hometown. Sarah thinks Michel, her beloved brother, will be safe. She says, “Yes, he’d be safe there. She was sure of it. The girl murmured his name and laid her palm flat on the wooden panel. I’ll come back for you later. I promise” (Rosnay 9). During this time of inequality, where the French were removing Sarah and her mother just because they were Jewish, Sarah’s brother asked her for help. Sarah promised her brother she would be back for him and helped him escape his impending arrest. Sarah’s brother believed her because he looks up to her and loves her. As the story continues, when Sarah falls ill and is in pain, she also turns to her father for comfort, “at one point she had been sick, bringing up bile, moaning in pain. She had felt her father’s hand upon her, comforting her” (Rosnay 55).
In interviews with Max Brooks he shares how he got the experiences and ideas for his zombie writings. Brooks used his dad’s war stories and transformed them for his stories on zombies. In an interview with Brooks he told us that “And my father’s war stories I thought were interesting not because of the combat element but the smaller things” (Empire). In his stories he is detailed on how everyone feels and their experiences because of his dad’s detailed war stories. When Brooks was asked if he picked up his interest in the period from his dads stories of the time he replied with, “It’s those minutiae that have always driven me to be as detail-oriented as possible” (Empire). Brooks has always had a passion for zombies and believes there will be a zombie apoca...
In today's world people have everything: cars, thrains, planes etc., that makes it really easy for them to move away from the people and places of their past, and makes sometimes easy to come back and travel a distances to see family again. Patetic in his argument asserts that distances tend to lack the close, supportive relationships, that people generations enjoyed. The author supports his position by first, providing reasons and examples from real life. He continues by demonstrating the results of far living kind of relationships. The author’s purpose is to persuade the readers so that families will stop leaving so far away from each other. The author establishes a formal tone for families, that live miles away from each other. Patetic argues that families losing each other because of long distances, that separate them. His argument is true, in some point long distances are breaking the relationships.
Amada321: As a Republican, even I will have to admit that Hillary Clinton seems to be one of the most qualified and trustable candidates of this year’s election. Although at first I was leaning towards voting for Trump, I am now 100% sure whom I’ll be voting for: Hillary Clinton. As I read in the article, “millions of American, women and men lover her,” they are willing to vote for her. Adichie also informs us about how well she got along with the Republicans; however, one fact stood out the most. I read about how Hillary made several “sacrifices,” for her man, she “dared to think herself,” as her “husband’s equal.” As a young republican woman, Hillary, even though she’s a Democrat, is the perfect candidate to vote for. And if she does win, I too will “weep with joy.”
Cassie ends up losing all of her friends and everyone who she thought would bring her happiness. ”’I don’t know what they do with the bodies.’ Bodies. A body. Not Sarah. Just another girl’s body that is not useful anymore” (Reed 224). Sarah, her best friend, committed suicide because no one showed her that they cared about her including Sarah’s mom. Hitler ends up killing himself after realizing soldiers were coming for him, he was a coward. ”Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany, burrowed away in a refurbished air-raid shelter, consumes a cyanide capsule, then shoots himself with a pistol, on this day in 1945, as his ‘1,000-year’ Reich collapses above him” (History 1). Hitler was a coward and chose to take his own life because of the bad decisions he made. Cassie is depressed for the longest time and ends up moving schools. ”For now, there is only a new school in a new city, new teachers, new students who never knew who I was before”(Reed 227). She was so upset with her situation she moved. Every choice has a consequence and in their cases the consequence was bad.
She locks the door behind her and waits for several seconds starring in the darkness trying to hear any movements. Kelsey walks across the room with her pistol ready, finger on the trigger. Just as she gazes out the window watching flames arise on the horizon, spot light's beam the building causing the room to shine bright. Kelsey turns around and glimpses the Nazi Leader pointing a handgun at the pimple between her eyebrows. Kelsey lowers her pistol to the ground and holds her hands to the sky. The Nazi Leader speaks in some form of German which becomes inaudible for Kelsey to understand. Then a water droplet falls from Kelsey’s face and she begins to say a prayer. She speaks aloud to cause the leader to lose his focus on what he should be doing, killing her. Conversation comes up through the question of Kelsey asking the leader why he has started this movement once again. The leader replies “I chose to eliminate the weaker humans in our society. With those people gone, our community and world can develop to the next level.” Kelsey decides to yell at the leader while tears running down her face that the leader is wrong to think like that. She believes that everyone was put on this planet for a reason to contribute to society. And that the purpose of the jews might not be prevalent right now, but they will find their spot in society soon. As soon as the argument ceases and tension in the room intensifies, the family Kelsey saved in the woods barges through the door and open fires on the Nazi Leader. Multiple bullets slice through the leader’s body like tissue paper. His body collapses to the ground with a bang and silence strikes the room. Everyone looks around and checks themselves for unnoticeable bullet wounds that might not have stricken them. After all body parts are clean of bullet scratches, they all surround one another with tears of joy knowing
The topics of “people” “process” and “product” is crucial to a business. In the article “Angry parents file lawsuit against toymaker for product that doesn't work” it states “Angry parents wrote reviews on the Amazon and Toys "R" Us websites. They described experiences similar to those in the lawsuit. "We opened it and did just what the box said only to have it do NOTHING!!" one post on Toys "R" Us read, according to the lawsuit. "It never lit up never made noise nothing." In Winegarden Amazon review, the Tennessee father wrote: "DO NOT BUY THIS TOY!!! It does not work. Next Christmas he is buying Legos, he wrote.” this company might have people and process, but it does not have a good product, so much so, that it resulted in a lawsuit.
The purpose of the composition of the article is to acknowledge the fact that racism has not changed over time. Additionally, another purpose is to create an awareness that the writer himself was not a part of the self-segregation that occurred during high school. By using the words “What did it say about me when I refused to sit there, day after day for three years.” (Graham 1). This points out how although he was discriminated against, the author still refused to join those who purposefully set themselves aside as the “black table”.
Being someone who did not people could get married through skype, I thought this article was very interesting to read. For me, I considered this an informative essay because it talks a lot about what skype weddings can lead to and the process on how to do it. When I first read the title of the article “Revealed: How immigrants are gaining U.S. citizenship by getting married on Skype - to people thousands of miles away” I thought that maybe there wasn’t a process through the government and all you needed was a spouse and a priest. According to the article though to become an American citizen you must first be interviewed by Homeland Security or State Department officials, so they can check for fraud or human trafficking. At that point, I started
