The Living Dead

While searching through a plethora of articles this week one caught my attention, "Zombies crawl through Downtown Denver” by Victoria Barbatelli. Dances and group gatherings are fun and entertaining, especially when the guests are all dead. In the month of October, everyone was welcome to Downtown Denver to celebrate the fourth annual Zombie Crawl. Parents and children of any age were welcome as long as you had something with blood on it. Babies who couldn’t even talk were holding bloody rattles. The one thing that was probably the coolest thing ever was when everyone danced to the Thriller song by Michael Jackson. It was choreographed and everything! One thing that is really amazing is that the Zombie Crawl was founded by just a small group of people and became such a large event. It makes me wonder what I can do to leave a great mark in history and to know that I created something amazing. The strange thing, while writing this, I was watching Legally Blonde. It is a strange connection to zombies but has a good meaning to it. Elle Woods is a misunderstood peppy girl who proves everyone wrong by making it into Harvard Law. She changed a lot of peoples view on life and on people in general. It shows that a small person can make a big change in life and that maybe one day I can become like Elle Woods or the founders of Zombie Crawl.
