Introduction After a zombie apocalypse, a dentist named Rob leads a group of scientist to safety at a former summer camp called Blue Mountain where they are joined later by Carol, a U.S. Soldier, leading a group of 20 other soldiers. Together Rob and Carol decide to train the scientist and lead them along with the soldiers to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) where a cure might be found. Rob set a plan in motion to have the scientist undergo quarantine for 10 days, to ensure they had not been infected with the zombie virus, teach wilderness survival such as building a fire, finding food, and hunting. Rob further required each scientist supply a rifle for the training. The deadline for the requirements was June 15th, however, Rob decided to check on his scientist on June 10th only to find that only 8 of the 10 had undergone the quarantine, many had not yet learned the wilderness survival, and only 2 had rifles and the ones that had rifles had no ammunition. To further complicate matters, one of the soldiers reserved sniper training on Rob’s deadline date, June 15th and therefore reserving the few rifles available. At this point, Rob was five days away from his deadline and the team was not even close to being prepared to on this life-or-death mission.
Background

    This newly discovered strain of Ebola has researchers interested, but they’re approaching the facility with many safety precautions. For example, they were required to wear protective suits and were expected to take a ten minute break after every one hour of work inside of the faciliy. Nancy Jaax and her husband Jerry would constantly remind their young privates to be cautious, to amplify the severity of the situation. Even though this newly discovered Ebola strain isn't deadly to humans; Ebola's ability to transform and adjust to new environments strikes fear into researchers knowing there's a possibility of a potential mutation in the virus. The military's take over of the Reston Monkey house was predictable, yet necessary. Strict precautions needed to be enforced and the military was the best fit for a successful lock down of the Reston virus. The killing of the monkey's was sad, but the threat of spreading the virus proves necessary for this situation. This piece was significant to the book because it once again strengthens the severity of the situation, it scares the audience into believing that this is a life or death scenario with all of the prearranged precautions being followed through by the U.S. Military. This relates to the most recent outbreak because of the intensity, not only in safety protocols but the dedication to effectively remove the virus and…

    The day after she arrived home, Elaine saw Dr. Scott. He ordered an MRI, which confirmed the injury. He suggested that she consider reconstructive surgery on her knee. While some patients elect to avoid surgery, they are at much higher risk of developing osteoarthritis earlier, and the instability of their knee makes them more likely to fall again. Thirty years ago most surgeons would not have suggested surgery for this injury, particularly in someone aged 55, and the surgical techniques were not as successful as they are now. Because Elaine was a fairly active individual prior to the accident, Dr. Scott encouraged her to have reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, and he referred her to another orthopedic surgeon who did that surgery on a routine basis.…

Jaax is a very determined and strong-willed army veterinarian, she has a loving family consisting of her husband and two children. Johnson is a generally a timid person, he is an epidemiologist whose studies mainly focuses on Marburg and Ebola. They are both deeply terrified of Ebola, but are willing to risk their lives for a better understanding on the virus. On Nancy Jaax’s first day working in Biohazard Level 4, she puts on her space suit and Preston says, “Perhaps Nancy was in a bit of a hurry and did not inspect her spacesuit as closely as she should have.” (Preston 45). As for Johnson, Preston recalls his dreams as, “Gene Johnson had suffered recurrent nightmares about Ebola virus ever since he began to work with it.” (Preston 35). Both of these quotes suggest that a tragic incident shall soon unfold. These quotes are dark. These quotes give a feeling that cannot be shaken off, a prominent feeling of uncertainty and…

    What personality (or character) type does Hank display according to Freudian Theory? Hank displays Oral personality type according to Freudian Theory. Why do you think so? I believe Hank displays Oral personality characteristics due his preoccupation with eating and smoking. At what stage is Hank Fixated, according to the Freudian perspective? I believe hank becomes fixated at the Oral stage, which occurs from birth to one year of age. Find evidence of fixation in the case study? Evidence of oral fixation occurs when the case study describes Hank as eating and smoking excessively as a method to calm his nerves. The case study states “Hank is sitting in his apartment eating a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream and contemplating this past week, which had been stressful. The ice cream started to make Hank feel better, more relaxed, and once he finished off the pint, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it. The first inhale also helped to reduce the tension he was feeling” What would have caused this fixation? The cause of this fixation is due to how Hank’s mother responded to her infant’s demands, which at the time were solely id demands. The case study states “His mother often described Hank in terms that implied that he was loud even when he was a baby. His cries used to pierce the air, and his mother would often rush to make a bottle for Hank or give him a cookie to regain some peace and quiet, even when she could not understand why he was hungry because he had eaten so recently. She laughs about it now, but it was stressful at the time"…

    The response by the military in the film to the zombie outbreak appears to be far more rapid that would be expected based on Brooks’ descriptions of zombie outbreaks. Barry’s sister Brook is show as being captured by a pair of military men searching for survivors in what seems to be the morning after the outbreak. What could at first possibly be seen as a rescue quickly takes a nefarious turn as the men rough handle and test Brook’s blood for an unknown purpose. Once her blood checks out, the men knock Brooke out and take her to an insane doctor who is experimenting on the undead in the back of a highly modified truck. His actions in experimenting on Brooke and the zombies cause her to change into something more than human.
