Similarities between our Society and Zombies

Society is very easy to compare to the vast changes that the citizens had to go through in Stephen King's Cell. The lack of a government structure, when the anarchy had spread, was what threw many people over the edge. Once there were no more laws to apply, the basic instinct to survive was brought out in man. In the book people killed each other over trying to find a place to live during the day, so they could then move around during the night. In Germany during WWII choas and panic was everywhere for the jews, they did everything to try and escape the nazi's, "the organized zombies". The propaganda of Hitler and the "Harved Zombie", is very similar. Hitler used propaganda posters to deture the jews, while the Harverd Zombie used mental telepathy to send threats and visions of death to the the normal people. During the book, the people learn that the only way they can get around is to move at night, since the zombies roam during the day. This is extremely similar to how the slaves would move up north during the night, since it was much easier to get caught during the day.
