zombie metaphor

Based on our metaphor lectures this week, we are asking you to complete the following (short) discussion board response assignment for our recitation discussion this week. Please look over pages 9-14 of the CDC Zombie Pandemic Preparedness Kit found under this weeks module in the large lecture Canvas page. That probably sounds like a lot, but thankfully this is a comic book and not all text. The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) released the following graphic novel to iterate the importance of emergency preparedness among the general public. For this discussion board, please answer the following discussion questions, at least 250 words each.

1. Based on our discussion of the zombie metaphor this week, argue whether or not the zombie metaphor is an effective way of communicating emergency preparedness to a general public.
2. How does the CDCs use of the zombie metaphor compare and contrast to the ways we discussed its use in the film examples we discussed or the example you brought to class on Thursday?
