When we think critically about monsters, we tend to classify them as personifications of what we fear

  This is true because sometimes people describe monsters as something that scares them, making there no 'one type' of monster. The monster that we fear of is always the one that is created and imagined by our own fears.

Every zombie war is a war of attrition

  I agree with this paragraph because it is true. There's always just one motive in a zombie movie, and that's to survive and kill the zombies. In real life, once you have a job, your only motive is to survive and earn enough money for yourself. It's just an endless and boring cycle where people start to lose themselves and just go into 'zombie-mode' and just do everything repetitively everyday.
