The School of Survival

Both the human and zombie method of raising their future generations reveals that both groups have the common similarity of just trying to survive. Within one of Perry's memory, he sees the new schools of a post- apocalyptic world, "We taught them how to shoot, how to kill and how to survive. If they masstered those skills and had time to spare, then we taught them how to read and write, and to relate and understand their world." The human world no longer values the ideals of sympathy and understanding; instead, humans only value to survive. Learning how to kill is the most important ideal, and since humans are not taught sympathy, they will never understand that zombies also have a sense of human values. From the other perspective, zombie too are only taught to survive, "'Wrong! Get throat!' The teacher kills him and stands up, blood streaming down his face. 'Get Throat!'" Both humans and zombies only want to survive. The zombies drag in the human corpse to end it's life simply to teach the children how to catch humans.
