Birds Vs. Zombies
In preparing for my upcoming lessons on the short story "The Birds" (for my 9th grade English classes), I had to actually read the story for the first time. It was amazing ... MUCH better than the film version. The short story is very much like NOTLD, with a family having to board themselves up in a farmhouse against waves of attacks from birds. So, it's the same thing (almost) only with birds instead of zombies.
Which leads me to ask: Since the threat of both birds and zombies lies in their numbers ... which of the two groups would win in a fight? Birds or zombies? I think birds would, even though zombies are scarier. They have beaks and claws, the ability to fly, and can attack in massive groups without getting in each other's way.

Odd but true story; the short story is actually a metaphor for someone trying to quit smoking...
okay, not really. But if you're looking for it, it's all over the place. Write about that (it being about someone trying to quit smoking), I guarantee you'll get an A.

Zombies would be able to do more damage to tangible objects, houses, cars etc...

and there were some other metaphors, too. The only one I can think of is the one part where he sees the "grey cloud" of birds
