Assignment #6 Top 3

Today's blog challenge is to choose the top 3 (of anything) and justify your choice. You may choose the top three hockey players of all time, the greatest musicians, the top three reasons to do something...the possibilities are endless. Here is a suggested sequence of events for the blog:

1. Choose your topic

2. Choose the criteria you are using to make your choices, and explain it to the reader. For example, if you are ranking the top three hockey players, how are you choosing to judge them? Points scored? Plus/minus rating? Years in the league? Stanley Cups won?

3. Type your blog out by first explaining the topic you have chosen, and the criteria for your choices. Then state each of your top three choices, and dedicate approximately a paragraph to each one that justifies why it deserves the ranking you gave it. As always, formal language and proper spelling and grammar applies.

Student example:

The Top Three Zombies EVER!!

I will base my criteria these different characteristics:

1. Learning Ability/Intelligence
2. Killing Effectiveness
3. Legitimate Zombiosity (If it stays in the criteria of being a "Zombie")
4. Appearence



#3. Thriller Zombies
The Zombies from Michael Jackson's Thriller get number 3 on my list mostly because of their pure dancing skill. Clearly, because they can dance so well and in unison they must be quite intelligent. They also look quite "zombie" like. That being said, a true zombie craves brains and wants nothing more than to chomp down on someones cranium. These zombies truly lack these cannibalistic qualities. Therefore they are only number 3, because zombies simply cant dance.



#2. Night Of The Living Dead Zombies



One of the classic zombie movies of all time was definitely Night Of The Living Dead. The zombies in this film also perfectly matched most of the qualities a zombie should have. They were dead. They craved human flesh and stopped at nothing to get it. They also fit the physical requirements for a zombie. All this being said they are not as interesting as they could have been. Zombies that can run instead of lumbering around and are more intelligent are more effective in the killing department. This brings us to our number one zombie.


#1. Dawn Of The Dead Zombie's
For me, nothing beats the vicious, fast and terrifying as the zombies from Dawn of the Dead. They perfectly fit all the criteria of what a zombie should be: Dead, cannibals, scary and they've got the looks too. They are even faster than the classic slow moving zombie which increases their killing effectiveness. They are also quite smart and can adapt to things. Because of these reasons, the zombies from Dawn Of The Dead reached number one on my list.
