Zombie Mania

1. The research process for a paper like this requires a lot of time, patience, and creativity. There 
are a lot of sources out there that can only be found with the correct word combination so it’s a good 
idea to mix those up. The best best advice I can give is go to the reference librarian desk at the 
university library. This is a great place to start your research because they will help you find sources and think of different search terms that open up the possibility for more relevant sources. 
It would also be a good idea to try and connect your topic to Myth America early on, get help with that if you don’t know what that means. This is something I wish I had known before because it’s a healthy portion of the researched paper and probably the most difficult to do on your own.

2. Topic: For this researched paper I wanted to figure out why is American society so obsessed with zombies, especially since zombies are supposed to be terrifying creatures that will eat your flesh and make you “undead”.
