  12. In-text / parenthetical citation Bailey defines zombies as “theoretically constructed creatures stipulated to be identical in certain respects with ordinary human beings, but lacking in other respects” (Bailey 481).

  13. Works Cited Bradley, Ryan. “FYI: Could scientists really create a zombie apocalypse virus?” PopSci.com. Popular Science, 24 Feb. 2011. Web. 22 Oct. 2013. Parker, James. “Our Zombies, Ourselves: Why We Can't Get The Undead Off Our Brains.” Atlantic Monthly 307.3 (2011): 32-33. Print. WatchMojo.com. “Interview with Zombie Guru George A. Romero.” YouTube. 28 Oct. 2009. Web. 22 Oct. 2013.

  14. Quoting vs paraphrasing “We are looking for something a little in between Haiti and Hollywood: an infectious agent that will render its victims half-dead but still-living shells of their former selves” (Bradley). In contrast to depictions in horror films, a real-life zombie apocalypse is more likely to come in the form of a contagious disease (Bradley).

  15. Example And so it has proved: all manner of meanings have been and continue to be plastered onto the zombie. Much can be made of him, because he makes so little of himself. He is the consumer, the mob, the Other, the proletariat, the weight of life, the dead soul. He is too many e-mails in your inbox, a kind of cosmic spam. He is everything rejected and inexpugnable.

  16. Acceptable use or plagiarism? “All manner of meanings have been and continue to be plastered onto the zombie. Much can be made of him, because he makes so little of himself.”

  17. Acceptable use or plagiarism? The modern zombie has come to represent so many different things, from capitalism to technology, because he is essentially a blank slate.

  18. Acceptable use or plagiarism? The modern zombie is “the consumer, the mob, the Other, the proletariat, the weight of life, the dead soul” (Parker 33).

  19. Acceptable use or plagiarism? It has resulted that all kinds of definitions have been and continue to be attached to the zombie (Parker 33).
