Zombie, I am - Comment on "RU A ZOMBIE?"

Really original narrative with the disruption of the students’ brainstorming – the initial equilibrium – with the arrival of a zombie; it’s really funny and satirical. The dialogue was really entertaining. I like the idea of how they parody the life of Journ students, drawing on their own experiences. What was also amusing was their melodramatic reactions to the threat of the villain. Furthermore, the heroes, Dean and Thirusha, are so obvious in their actions and thus the narrative seems predictable, however, the ending, where Chris is going to be fed to the students and the heroes, creates an interesting and amusing twist to the story. Therefore, the reader thinks that peace, a new equilibrium, has been restored, but instead a new disruption occurs at the end, which shocks the reader.
