Ally’s comments from the S.S. Rebel Alliance (Silent Sustained Reading Discussions) group.

The Dead

Friendship is very important to certain characters in this book. Ed and Jack had a very strong friendship, and when Jack was dying, Ed did everything he could to make him comfortable. He stayed with him to the very end.

The Dead

In the current chapter I am reading, the group talks about how they must have hope for a better future in order to stay alive. They can't be doubtful things will get better, because it causes them to lose hope.

The Dead

Ed, one of the main characters, chose cowardice vs. courage. He is too afraid to kill the zombies, even when his friends are in danger. His friend Jack, chooses courage over cowardice, and is often angry with Ed for not being brave. The characters of this book have to learn to be courageous in order to survive. They must face the zombies, and kill them.
