For Johnny,
You interviewed two family members with different religious views and analyzed how religion effected their views on death. You also did a great job discussing ho I enjoyed reading about what your grandmother said. You mentioned, "The first thing i noticed about both my interviews is when I asked them what was the first thing that came to there mind they both replied by saying that it is a sad part in everyones life."
I also found it strange that she had an almost identical response to the question, What do you think of when you hear the word death? You would think that an older person would have had a different view on the topic.
To improve this project you could further discuss how religion effects the choice of how to care for the dead. What about the bible makes people chose to not become cremated? What about being underground do you think scares people?
Your work was insightful and I enjoyed reading it.

For Christian,
I like how you chose to ask general questions like "What are some basic views of the Care of The Dead that come to mind?
This permitted your interviewee to respond in a verity of ways. This proves beneficial because they can answer in any way they chose. But because the interviews were brief i did not get a good understanding of why the interviewee felt that respect for the soul is important or why care for the body is an essential.
I would recommend making finding the balance between personal questions and general questions.
For Abdullah,
I enjoyed hearing about your families different beliefs on the matter of death. the question you asked was, What to do with bodies after there is a massive death tole?
You notated that you thought it was suppressing that one of your family members answered with:
“People should look at resolving the crisis instead of looking at moral beliefs and religious beliefs. If you do not have time or the man-power to figure out what everyone that died believed in, you don’t have to do it. Mass burials or even mass cremations should be executed.”
What aspect of that response suppressed you?
Over all your writing and analysis was thoroughly written.

From mentor (mom)
Sarah, Your blog raises some very interesting concepts about why people may develop different views and possible resentments toward religion in response to rituals for caring for the dead. I would like to know further details from each person you interviewed about their personal beliefs about afterlife.
I’m curious why your friend was uncomfortable with the topic of caring for the dead and I can’t but wonder if it could possibly be an individuals way of dealing with death in their lives. Some people may have deep emotions about the topic. I had several friends die at a very young age and I was not comfortable talking about death until my mid 40’s.
Your question of “Why do people respect some people more after they die?” is great. It would be valuable to know each persons individual stories on the topic
Sarah,
From Christian,
I thought your post came across important points of view that are developed through a range of variaties, one in particular being the cultural differences in religion and its relation to caring for the dead. From the story and views of your father contrasting with your mothers is a interesting point of view, showing both sides of a "party" and how differently it is dealt with. I also thought your question "...why do people respect people more after they die?" is a interesting norm that I also wish to understand, from this I would like to hear your thoughts on maybe why?
