How would I go about writing a seven page paper?

Question

For my history class I have to write a 6-8 page paper. In this I must discuss witchcraft and its perception and relation to women by explaining how the role of women changed with the establishment of Christianity in Europe. How would I go about doing this? I am lost as to how I am going to break this down.

Thank you so much to whoever can help me.

Answer 1

Start off with the role of women and how it changed when Christianity arrived in Europe (4th or 5th century maybe??)
Include what role women played before (wife and mother of kids, home maker/weaver/gardener/spinner of wool etc)

Then discuss the concepts of witchcraft in those same eras - curing illnesses, playing upon people's gullibility, making families/villages fearful with trickery, (all this for money no doubt)

Then move on to the fact that the Bible forbids witchcraft/use of incantations/spiritualism (conjuring the 'dead' and all that) and give bible verses if you can.

Compare women in the Bible with women in the Dark Ages of Europe and discuss the fact the faith in Christ changed the women's status. the perception of witchcraft BEFORE a person is Christian is different from their perception afterwards.

Is this a start? Not very cogent I am afraid and I know that you can get the order and tyhe details better. Start soon, or the day will be over! <><

Answer 2

make or find an outline or what you have to include for the grade. then add in facts, and surround them with quotes, and clever sayings.
