Oral History of a Billionare

Imagine being immortal to the most fatal things; for example a zombie breaking into your house and slaughtering you until your blood turns into brownish black goo. This is how Breckinridge "Brick" Scott felt while being trapped where the record low temperature has been recorded, Antarctica. While "Brick" was trapped in Antarctica Jesika Hendricks was in Canada suffering from the effects of the zombie war. These are 2 different stories of 2 different people in the roughest of times but because of the outcome of events they see things differently for the rest of their lives.

In the book World War Z a journalist is going around the world and gathering stories from survivors of the tragic zombie war. In this book there are many stories all raping into the same time periods of the zombie war. In these two very different stories one man is living the time of his life the other woman is starving through the harsh cold.

Jesika's point of view in this story would make the zombie war seem like the worst thing ever(which it was pretty bad). Jeskia's family had found a group of other people that had traveled to the great white north. They were fine for a while but they started to starve and freeze. When these events occurred everything got worst; everyone was stealing and when there was no food what so ever they turned to cannibalism.

If you were to take Jesika's story and make the point of view "Brick's" this story(like many others) would drastically change. Brick would be nice and comfy in his dome making thousands by the second because of his phony drug Phalanx which is supposed to make you immune to zombie bites. If you were to read this book in the point of view of a person like Brick this zombie war would be a huge joke. Also there would be no point for writing this book on the zombie war.

So now imagine being immortal but, billions of other people suffering.  No one can be immortal but if someone was it would be Breckinridge Scott. He sees this war as revenue while everyone else is in a chaotic world trying to survive. If Max Brooks had put more stories in Bricks point of view this would not be the chaotic and exhilarating book that he made it to be. As you can see there are many different stories all different while resulting in the same pain of the zombie war branded in their head for life.
