Our
protagonist goes through a series of photos spanning from before the zombie
apocalypse up until the moment he trades in his camera. First, I wonder why the
protagonist chooses to record such traumatic events. Why the need to remember
the exact moment he killed Bradley, or even before Bradley's gruesome death
when they were forced to double-team poor Mr. Sumpter? I figure that this may be his way of
showing us that no matter how much we may struggle to forget our negative
experiences, they are just as important in determining who we are as people as
our positive ones, and because of this, it is vital that we fight just
as desperately to remember them. Second, while describing the
twentieth photograph, he comments that he was a person while killing Bradley,
as opposed to his previous kills as a beast. What does he mean by this? Is he
implying that he killed Bradley for his own good—which is not to say that this
lessens his guilt, and that because he killed him before he was fully
transformed, he was still ‘Bradley?’
Post arguments, interpretative questions, and engaging responses on the week's reading.
