  • From Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the Zombie
    FEAR AND THE MONSTROUS HUMAN: FROM MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE OF MAX BROOKS’ WORLD WAR Z By LINDA K. ANDREW Integrated Studies Project submitted to Dr. Jolene Armstrong in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta December, 2015 1 Abstract This paper focuses on the concept of fear and the monstrous human. The first part of this paper treats Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as an examination of fear as a cycle that produces rage when confronted by the moral detachment and shaming of others. The second part of this project addresses aspects of societal fear manifested in the zombie monster and set within the paradigm of the zombie apocalypse as posited in Max Brooks’ World War Z. The conclusions reached in this discussion suggest that compassion and reason are the antidote for the social toxin of terror. 2 Table of Contents • Introduction……………………………………………………………… 4 • Part One—Mary Shelley`s Frankenstein: The Creature’s Cycle Of Fear and Victor’s Moral Detachment…………………………….….6 • The Cycle of Fear, Otherness, and Rage……………………………….... 7 • Science and Accountability……………………………………………… 17 • Shame and the Loss of Personhood……………………………………… 25 • Discussion of Part One……………………………………………………34 • Part Two—World War Z: Reflections of Human Nature in the Zombie Apocalypse……………………………………………………… 36 • Zombies and Fear………………………………………………………… 38 • The Worst of Us………………………………………………………….. 40 • The Best of Us……………………………………………………………. 54 • Discussion of Part Two…………………………………………………... 63 • Works Cited……………………………………………………………… 65 3 Introduction In Western society, fear is displayed through mass media and inculcated into the mind of the individual and community, sometimes without his or her conscious awareness.

  • The Red Bandanna
    HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER’S GUIDE TO TOM RINALDI’S The Red Bandanna GUIDE WRItten BY CHRIS GILBert ACADEMIC MARKETING The Red Bandanna High School Teacher’s Guide I. INTRODUCTION The Red Bandanna tells the incredible true story of Welles Crowther, a young man who made the ultimate sacrifice while leading others to safety during the 9/11 attacks. The reader first encounters Welles as a young boy, and the book details his journey as he becomes an athlete, a volunteer firefighter, and eventually an equities trader on Wall Street. During this journey, the reader witnesses Welles’s kindness, his enthusiasm for life, and his courageous actions during the largest terrorist attack in our nation’s history. The Red Bandanna provides students with an intimate view of a true hero, and it asks them to consider the importance of compassion, courage, leadership, and service to others. Welles’s moving story, grounded in the 9/11 attacks, also brings students into close contact with an event that occurred when most of them were too young to perceive it. This guide is designed to assist students during their exploration of this content. Through the questions, activities, and resources featured within, students are encouraged to adopt an analytical view of The Red Bandanna, relevant personal experiences, and related topics. This guide contains five sections: discussion questions, various classroom activities, research opportunities, service learning projects, and other resources for students and teachers. Each section is applicable to multiple curricular areas, and as such, this document has an interdisciplinary focus. Activities can also be easily modified and scaled, as they were constructed with flexibility in mind.

  • Keynote Address for 12Th Anniversary of 9/11 Grossmont Community College Jake Jacoby, MD
    Keynote Address for 12th Anniversary of 9/11 Grossmont Community College Jake Jacoby, MD Good morning, on this the 12th Anniversary of the Terrorist Attacks on America, in New York City, in Arlington County, VA at the Pentagon, and in the skies of our Homeland. I would like to thank the Administration of Grossmont Community College, and in particular Mr. Donald Harrison, Acting Director for College and Community Relations, and Professor Jeff Lehman, Dept of Chemistry, for inviting me to share some thoughts with you at this gathering to commemorate one of the most repugnant and horrific events of our lives. I was asked to speak as one of the many people who responded when called, to assist in the medical needs of responders and support personnel during the response and recovery phases of the WTC Attack. As a little bit of background, I have been an Emergency Medicine physician for over 30 years. In 1991, I was asked to start a Disaster Medical Assistance Team here in San Diego, otherwise known in our world as a DMAT. It is a team of physicians, nurses, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, respiratory therapists, communications, security and logistics officers, and administrative personnel with the mission of responding to disasters and special security events to provide medical care, when needed. Since then, our team has been asked by our Federal Government to respond to nearly 2 dozen disasters, such as the Northridge Earthquake, Floods in the Midwest; multiple Tropical Storms and hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina, and most recently, Hurricane Sandy. The Terrorist Attacks on America on September 11, 2001 was one of those disasters.

  • Saved on 9 11, by the Man in the Red Bandanna
    https://nyti.ms/2gQajcc Saved on 9/11, by the Man in the Red Bandanna By Corey Kilgannon Sept. 8, 2017 SUFFERN, N.Y. — Welles Crowther, 24, a rookie equities trader from Upper Nyack, N.Y., who died in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, became known as the Man in the Red Bandana, for the handkerchief he wore as a protective mask while assuming a rescuer’s role in the South Tower before it collapsed. He is credited with helping at least 10 people escape the tower in several trips up and down stairwells, before perishing alongside a group of New York City firefighters. His is one of the countless stories of heroism from that dark day, which marks its 16th anniversary on Monday. His story has been told numerous times, but it is laid out in dramatically poignant detail in a new documentary, “Man In Red Bandana,” which opens this weekend at several New York-area theaters and is also being released online. Its premiere was Wednesday night, not in Manhattan, but rather in Suffern, not far from Mr. Crowther’s hometown Upper Nyack. Nearly 1,000 people packed the Lafayette Theater, a grand movie palace from the 1920s decorated with a big red bandanna for the evening. “That’s the largest bandanna in the world — 20 by 20 feet,” said Matthew Weiss, who wrote, directed and co- produced the film. Mr. Weiss stood in the theater lobby greeting attendees, many of whom were family and friends of Mr. Crowther as well as local emergency workers.
