First signs of infection
Patients who were infected with an unknown disease, “were running a high fever, forty degrees centigrade” and they were “shivering violently.” In addition, there was a wound in their forearm, “a bite mark.” Doctors examined wounds of patients and then they realized that it was not from an animal. The actual injuries were “surprisingly clean.” The human “mouths were packed with bacteria, even more so than the most unhygienic dog.” The imagery of the infected people given an impression of the appearance of zombies and the spreading of infection.
Attractive architecture
Troy (the village in Montana, USA) was built on “the Israel “Masada” model.” The houses all rest on stilts, as high as “ to afford each a perfect view ” over the twenty-foot-high, reinforced concrete wall. “The solar cell roofs, the shielded wells, the gardens, lookout towers, and thick, sliding, steel reinforced gate” have all served to make Troy an instant success with its inhabitants. This small village is “ well-groomed ” thanks to Troy's developer, chief architect, and first mayor - Mary Jo Miller. The imagery of Troy village gives an impression of Mary’s talent and respect for all inhabitants.
Feeling of death
Paris does not have many skyscrapers, because the earth beneath the foundations is “simply too tunneled” to support the huge skyscrapers. There are many catacombs underground, including “Roman tombs quarries” that supplied limestone for much of the city and even “World War II bunkers” . Roughly, six million bodies were buried there, “where corpses were just tossed in like rubbish .” The catacombs contained entire “walls of skulls and bones” , arranged in macabre patterns. It was even functional in places, “where interlocking bones held back mounds of loose remains behind them.” The imagery of catacombs gives an impression of fear and death.
Survivor after World War II
Father Sergei Ryzhkov, who survived during World War Z, lives in Russia. It is a miracle to see how the old cleric is still able to live. His walk reveals “the numerous wartime and postwar injuries.” The handshake reveals that “all his fingers have been broken.” His attempt at a smile reveals that “those teeth not black with decay have been knocked out a long time ago.” However, this person is still smiling. The imagery of father Sergei Ryzhkov gives an impression of the strong-willed and determined personality.
