Dust and Decay by Jonathan Mayberry most important line

I think the most improtant line is this, "The burn on Benny's shoulder felt white hot, and he was not 100 percent positive that the carpet coats had saved them from the teeth of the living dead." I think that this is the most important line of the chapter because Benny doesn't know if he has been infected or not by the zombie that bit him, and the whole book I think is about survival. Finding ways to live even if it is hard. I also think that this reveals somthing about Benny's character. I think that this reveals that he is determined. If he thought he had been infected and thought that he was going to die then he could've just given up and told his group to leave him, but instead he is not selfish and tries to help his group in any way possible. What else do you think this might reveal about himself?

Dust and Decay connections

The first connection I can make is a text to text connection, obviously this relates to The Walking Dead comic series. In both stories the world they are in is an apocolyptic taken over by zombies, and bothe deal with the struggles that they face. A text to world connection is when the government shut down. No zombies showed up but it did end the government although it didn't ruin ours completley. A text to self connection is a zombie themed run I did. A lot of people dressed up like zombies for this event and felt like real life.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury text connections

One text to text connection I can make is the Harrison Bergeron story where everyone has a handicap so no one can over throw the government. This is a text to text because in both stories the government controls you. In Fahrenheit 451 you can't have books, in Harrison Bergeron you can't be normal. A text to world connection would be our government. I know that we don't have to burn every single book but there are still rules to follow and just like in books world. America has laws and in the book I guess one law is that they have to burn every single book. A lot of differences but some similarities. My last connection is a text to self. I can connect this story to myself because like I said in the last connection the 451 government has rules and so does my parents/government. I already said that one law in 451 is that you have to burn every single book, my parents don't make me burn every single book but the make me follow pretty simple rules like do all my chores, be respectful to them, etc. What connections can you make?
