Zombie Ideology

Research Question:  With the rise in popularity in zombies what are they portrayed as in the real world?

Why I chose this question: I decided to write about this topic because I have always been fascinated by zombies. I wanted to further my knowledge in this field of portraying societies fears to zombies. I have noticed there can be hidden messages or life lessons that one can learn from seeing any type of films.

Helpful Tips: Some may say to choose a partner to write a team paper, but I believe that its not all that necessary. I was capable of completing the task very well on my own. There are advantages of working together because of less workload. But also disadvantages because sometimes a partner can not be relied on.

There is no need to start really early but as soon as you can because of other assignments (essays) you have to complete. But it is helpful that you start looking at probable sources you can use maybe skim through some?
