World War Z The Great Panic Summary

In the chapter the great panic in World War Z there is an interview done in Bridgetown, Barbados, West Indies Federation. The interview is done in bar with a man whose name is T. Sean Collins. This man had started off the conversation by saying there was no name for the work he use to do. Only that his skills of killing other people were marketable. He worked for a mercenary company and soon found himself protecting a wealthy man whose name he couldn’t give to the interviewer because of his fear of being “sued” even still in that moment of time. Basically this man he was protecting had a very nice house which was highly protected with security, resources, and weapons. The house itself had webcams in literally every room that streamed live 24/7. He did this because his house had people of influence living with him. He used his wealth and security to protect these people. He wanted to become a big shot after the war was over and this was a good way for him to do it. There is a point in the interview when Sean talks about how the celebrities were watching footage of people being killed by zombies, and the reactions of the celebrities themselves from the webcams. Suddenly in the middle of this the alarm goes off and suddenly he found himself running to his firing position. When he gets there he soon learns that the house wasn’t getting ready to be attacked by zombies but people instead. Quickly he runs for the beach not far from the house and grabs a surfboard to paddle to a boat. He said he could try to use the diamond earrings he had as means of bribery. I thought this section of the great panic to be the most interesting. Because it’s the only section of the great panic that didn’t involve a zombie attack but instead an attack with people. I also thought the part where celebrities reacted to footage of people fighting off zombies to be strange as well.
