The Zombie March 1. What is the title of the text and what is the text about? Title: Zombie March The story was about a husband that died and promised his wife he will come back and see her when dead. The husband comes back to their home after he’s pronounced dead and is now a zombie. But when he comes back, the wife is not as excited to see him as he had hoped and the wife tells him, “I’m not coming with you” (MacNabb; 2012). 2. What is the author’s view? How do I know?

The author supports the idea of a different kind of zombie by not talking about zombies, blood and guts throughout the story. This also becomes crystal clear when the author notes (Not “brains.”) (MacNabb; 2012). After the Zombies talk to her on her door step that has now become a stop on the Zombie March. 4. Is the evidence valid? How do I know? This is a fictional story so there aren’t any facts to validate per say. But I do think that the author shows evidence of a story that does not depict a typical zombie story where the zombies are out for brains.

Also, the zombies seem to portray a unique level of intelligence with talking to the newly widowed wife about not only her husband, but politics, marching to the Lincoln Memorial, suicide and the overall hope for the zombie race. 5. Is the evidence relevant? How do I

In the short passage by Kierstin Koppel titled “Humanizing Morticians,” she uses a lot of figurative language to give a mortician a wonderful personality. Koppel’s first sentence even depicts a very vivid scene, “The corpse lies bare under a white sheet waiting to be dissected and reconstructed through a series of surgical procedures” (Koppel). This sentence does not only describe an interesting scene, but it also grabs the reader’s attention by explaining what the passage is going to be about. Later, Koppel begins to explain her own point of view when it comes to being a mortician.

The nonfictional essay “Violence of the Lambs” is about 40 percent implausible information so John Sullivan can show how simple it is for humans to read information and freak out because people are conditioned to fear. He knows people will believe the worst case scenarios that he includes in the essay. In the beginning of the text, Sullivan introduced Marcus Livengood, who is a fake character. He is made up, so readers will believe that the evidence is true like when they explain Steve Irwin’s death, and the big Bloop. These attacks and phenomena are relatively true in content but not accurate in substance.
