Reading

When I was reading this weeks packet I was surprised to see how people would compare Aristotle and Goerge Romero. I wasn't exactly sure how the two of them were on the same level but Mathew Walker did make really good points to compare the theories of Aristotle and the storyline of Romero's films. walker used a great sentence to describ Romero's films, "The flesh eatin zombies of George A. Romero's Dead films turns stomachs- sometimes by twisting them right out of mangled bodies". Since my paper will mainly be focusing in on gender, race, and lack of romance in Romero's films, that sentence is still a great way to describe the goar of Romero's films. I plan on describing both Shawn of the Dead and Land of the Dead in great detail before I start my essay so that the reader can understand what I am talking about. I would like to use this quote in my description of the film. Also, walker states, "they are mindless Undead, living corpses who'll surround you en masse in search of a warm meal", this relating again to the zombies. This sentences made it apparent how scarry the zombies were made to be. Also Romero's film was compared to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Book V, Chapter 1, to describe the zombies motivation to eat as being pleonexia. Pleonexia is describ as being the ovverreaching desire for the goods of fortune. It is ironic that a zombie movie woulod ever be compared to a person as influencial as Aristotle.
