Rot & Ruin

Benny Imura is a kid who tries to live a life as normal as a one can be with zombies. He hates zombies because of what happened to his parents. They were taken away from him and his older brother so now he loathes every last living dead, including his monster of a mom and his dead dad. Throughout the book Benny changes, and his view of the living dead turns from hatred and sadness to understanding and respect. When a situation happens to scar you the worst thing you can do is dwell on that memory and grow angry.

At first, Benny was in denial when his life changed. He thought that his brother was a coward because he when their mother told them to. His brother always tries to protect him, but Benny hated him.

Later in Benny’s life is when he starts to understand tom and zoms. Tom explains what he does and how he does it. Benny still doesn’t believe so Tom takes him out in to Rot & Ruin, where Benny stars to understand.

After tom took him out into the Rot & Ruin, Benny has started to develop a different point of view. He now sees that the zom that the kill aren’t just zombie there were once human beings, so he starts to develop respect.

In the end, Benny now knows that what he knew was good and bad was the other way around. The bounty hunters he idolized were more of an abomination than the zoms. When something really bad happens to you doesn’t mean that you should already determine what is good and bad. Never allow your anger to control you.
