Zomboy
Plot
Zomboy is a novel about a boy named Imre who survived a nucular blast that killed his friends and family. Imre then goes to Canada and attends school with the two other main characters, Bob and Evil-O, Bob becomes suspisious of Imre wereas Evil-O Quickly become good freinds with him. Bob's suspisions are confirmed when a fast moving piano it's Imre and is split in half, the school nurse is cheking his pulse but doesn't find one. He is sent to multiple doctors and is comfirmed legally dead due to a desease called "Walking dead syndrom". Imre is officialy named a Zomboy because he is not a normal mindless zombie that eats humans. The news about Imre gets around the world fast and the responses are mostly negative with protesters against Imre and news channels filming around Imre allmost all the time only Evil-O and Bob are his freinds for a while until Imre becomes more popular by doing things like lifting the school bus, becoming class president and playing on the football team he even gets his only reality TV show. One day when over at Imre's house Bob discovers that there are strange things going on in there and is determined to find out what they are. The plot was pretty good but had a disapointing ending.
Characters
The main characters are Imre, Evil-O and Bob. Imre is a zomboy and the main protagonist that has a very board expression all the time but can be kind and fun. He doesn't change throughout most of the book but his friendship with Bob grows towards the end. Evil-O is another main character that instantly becomes friends with Imre. She is caring, welcoming but tuff at the same time, she doesn't change that much during the book. Bob is the last main protagonist he didn't like Imre for a while but becomes freinds with him later in the book. Bob also seems to have a small crush on Evil-O and usually takes her friendieness towards Imre for affection.
Voice
The voice in zomboy is Bob's. This is important because his point of veiw doesn't give away the ending and is the most interesting to read. The author described Bob's thoughts and emotions very well and did a good job making it seem like an actuall boy's point of veiw.
Setting
Zomboy takes place in mostly in Dresden public school in Dresden, Ontario or in one of the main protagonist's houses. The Author described Dresden as very flat with pretty nice weather. The school is just like any other school except as soon as the media finds out about Imre protesers fill the streets holding sings and yelling along with news channels trying to film everything. Evil-o and Bob's houses are normal but Imre's house is dark with military officers and a large fence circling the house.
Theme
I belive that the theme for Zomboy is discrimination. The reason I belive that is because of all the angry citizens that don't think Imre should be with humans because he is a zombie and is different. There are many other instances in this story with discrimanation or as Evil-O calls it: racism. For example the people saying "Go home zombie!".
That's all goodbye!
