#LI423 science vs religion; America vs Africa. These are 2 central and related conflicts in #BookOfPhoenix

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 w/ scientific research comes abomination and greed. Human nature turns good intentions corrupt #BookOfPhoenix

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

@kaitylynne13 Phoenix defines villain (so far) as a "harbinger of violence"(85) similar to the boy's definition of "bad" in #TheRoad #LI423

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#WorldWarZ the movie is inspired by the book in that they both have zombies. That's pretty much it #LI423 #FilmAdaptationFail

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 how does one determine who is the "villain" of a story? Whoever causes the most violence? #BookOfPhoenix

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 #BookOfPhoenix This passage describes the power of a story, but more importantly of the storyteller

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 this link describes the symbolism of the Phoenix in varying cultures and times http://t.co/C6E248UGzF #BookOfPhoenix

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 "for a speciMen, knowledge wasn't power" (8) WHY NOT?! Phoenix has enough knowledge to rebel #BookOfPhoenix

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 "the stories themselves were all pretty much the same" (336) A perfect summary of #WorldWarZ

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 at the end I was expecting overwhelming hope. And there was but there was still a lingering despair #WorldWarZ

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

@teedol16 I thought this too, but then I wondered how you can be conventionally "good" when you must survive. Everyone can't be saved #li423

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 "Ignorance was the real enemy, and cold, hard facts were the weapon"(195) The importance of knowing what you're up against #WorldWarZ

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 according to "Orange Eighty-Four" in order for some to be saved, some must be sacrificed. Only the chosen ones can survive #WorldWarZ

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 soldiers following orders have the "freedom" to not make decisions. They turn into mindless zombies #WorldWarZ

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 fear divides humans from zombies, giving zombies power while humans scramble to resolve their fears #WorldWarZ

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 zombies' brains function w/o emotion or rationale. Could human emotion be an "impediment" to rationale? #WWZ

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 from the intro: "I have tried to maintain as invisible a presence as possible"(3). Will the narrator succeed? #WorldWarZ

[Tess Clark @tessclark3]

#LI423 this flashback marks the end of time. How long since the apocalypse? How old is the boy? No one knows #TheRoad
