The body of a child." (Higson 4)]]> 2017-10-26 17:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200950693 ben07257 https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200950919 The quote that's been stated in the box before is important to the mood or the tone of the book. It gives off some flags to tell what the book is going to be all about. The whole book is about kids fight their dead parents or they are to be presumed dead. Throughout the book, they are referenced as mothers and fathers or as sickos. ]]> 2017-10-26 17:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200950919 ben07257 https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200951065 Grades 9-12 Instead of following the  zombie-apocalypse survivors introduced in The  Enemy (2010), Higson instead cranks the  clock back a year to see what it was like just a week or so after everyone over the  age of 16 became slavering cannibals. The  mostly new cast is fronted by two friends—impulsive Jack and sensitive Ed—as they lead a gang of their boarding-school buds across London toward safer quarters. This is not an origin story; in fact, it plays out much like The  Enemy, except from a different, though similar, perspective. Once again, what Higson lacks in innovation he makes up for in bravado, effortlessly orchestrating a huge cast, logistically complicated battles, and a series of deaths both gruesome and surprising. The  whole affair is awash in the  blood, bile, and mucus trademark to the  zombie “sickos,” with grotesqueries waiting at every turn (if you’ve never read a scab-licking scene, now’s your chance). There’s virtually no fat on this thing—no setup or ending either—which helps make it fast, sometimes funny, and always (burp) satisfying. -- Kraus, Daniel (Reviewed 08-01-2011) (Booklist, vol 107, number 22, p57)

The part when he said is not an origin story that it's very similar to the first book "The Enemy". "The Dead" is basically another story just a week after the huge outbreak of the disease. "The Enemy" took place a few months after the outbreak. I also like how he explains the time and how the author, Charlie Higson, is changing the setting and the time to this story compared to the first book. Overall, this review is one of the best that I found. ]]> 2017-10-26 17:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200951153 ben07257 https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200956571 2017-10-26 17:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200956571 ben07257 https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200959744 This image is the map of the book's setting. It gives the reader a general idea of how the book is laid out. It also shows where the kids have explored and gone to. The shows London where most of the book take place. At the beggining of the book, there was a map of where each kid's house was and they have went. ]]> 2017-10-26 18:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200959744 ben07257 https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200960316 Children vs Children

Also, the children have conflicts with the zombies. Some of the kids were very emotional about their parents turned into fleshing eating cannibals known as sickos to the children. ]]> 2017-10-26 18:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200961155 ben07257 https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200980357 Based on the symbolic image, the setting is the basis of the book. The children's goal in the book is to get to London cause they heard of a Safe zone there. Along the way, they've run into some zombies and some very huge conflicts throughout. Along the way, they've ran into an adult who seems to be immune to the disease.]]> 2017-10-26 18:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ben07257/TheDead/wish/200980357
