The Walking Dead Analysis
Carol starts out in The Walking Dead, a popular TV show, as soft-spoken and defenseless. She is abused by her husband, Ed, who eventually dies from being bitten by a zombie. Carol’s daughter, Sophia, is also soft-spoken, fearful, and defenseless like her mother, which is the cause of her turning into a zombie and eventually being killed. After Ed and Sophia died, Carol became independent and realistic. She knows that the world is a cruel place and must survive any way possible.

When Carol and the group were in the prison, they came across some prisoners that had survived. Rick decided to keep them in the group, but one prisoner named Andrew left a gate open and zombies began to come into the prison. T-Dog and Carol were outside moving vehicles when they began to be attacked. In the halls of the prison, Carol and T-Dog were cornered with no way out, so T-Dog sacrificed himself while Carol ran away in order to survive. There are many times when Carol avoided being confronted with a threat, which is avoidance. Every time a person died but their brain was still intact, she would stick a knife in their brain. This prevents the dead from coming back as a zombie, which are threats to everyone living. Specifically, Carol killed Karen and David, two sick members of the prison group that threatened to infect everyone with a sickness. This sickness could’ve killed everyone in the prison, and Carol tried to prevent it by killing the source.
On a daily basis in the Walking Dead, Carol uses long term potentiation, escape learning and avoidance in order to survive. Shooting a gun, fighting with knives, or using hand to hand combat is something Carol does every day. Most likely she will never forget how to do these things because she has done them every day for so long. Avoiding and escaping situations are also essential to live, and go hand in hand with her memory. If Carol cannot avoid a situation, she can escape using her fighting
