10 page paper on Historical Variations of death

· Answer the following in the paper:

· How have these changes been reflected in art? These are some of the ways that we can understand how the wealth and intellectual classes were thinking.

· How have common death rituals, grieving, funeral services etc. changed over the years, and what do these changes tell us about how people thought about death in various historical periods?

· Don't just look for slow linear changes - keep your eyes peeled for shifts that might have occurred for a period of a decade or less and then reverted back, for example times around epidemics of deadly infectious diseases.

· Hint: Discuss the victorian period - strange and creepy death related peculiarities.

My Topics to focus on are:

Funerals

Burials

Death AND Art

Critiques of the previous paper you submitted: too focused on the civil war, include the victorian period & the 14th, 15th, and 16th century, Proof read for incomplete sentences/run on sentences, do not use direct quotes, be sure to cite any information that is clearly from a source, refrain from repeating the same phrases over and over.
