Section: Pages 331-333
This section is over the man that is "addicted to killing". He is a man from Barbados, and like other men that come home from the military life, war life, they don't know how to live without doing the things they were taught to do for song long when the war is over. This man goes on to say that he tried to have a normal life, "I tried to fit in, settle down, make some friends, get a job, and do my part to help get America back together." But it didn't work for him, he said he felt like he was dead when he wasn't killing. He tries to justify himself by comparing what he does to those in the Army.
This was a good section to have for the overall aspect of the book because if an apocalypse like this were to happen, there would be people that would have this same struggle. This helps us to see what could actually happen and possibly see what we could do to prevent it. This section definitely gets our minds thinking towards what the fate of each of us would be, I don't know what my reaction would be during a time like this.
What I didn't like about this section was just the overall gloominess, how sad it was. And he also took it to a whole new level when he joined the "Impisi: Zulu for Hyena, the one who cleans up the dead." He doesn't get control over himself, yet he joins a group that has no rules when it comes to killing people.
What I did like about this section was how the author was able to show how a man with this problem thinks, and acts. It gave good insight on what the others going through this are feeling. It showed how he was not able to get control over himself, but he would "...hit my limit, get drunk, get in a fight, lose control." This section showed how he would go out looking for trouble, trying to recreate what it was like when the zombies were running around.
