Primary sources are also able to offer an inside perspective on things. In comparison secondary sources often analyze primary sources and are written in a much later date. For example, Thomas Hutchinson’s view on The Massachusetts Bay Colony Case was written in 1767, nearly one hundred and thirty years after the case in Massachusetts, opposed to Wellington Newcombe’s view of the case, which was written over three hundred years later in 1974. Saying so, Thomas Hutchinson was able to provide first-hand evidence of the case, while Newcombe interpreted the primary historical source, making his source less factual. The second determining factor between the primary and secondary source is the author.
Northumberland’s religious views were unclear as he seemed to drift between beliefs in order to achieve the most power possible for himself. This asserted him as a strong politician as he was able to adapt to different situations and remain powerful. On the other hand it made him unpopular with the majority as he was seen as unstable and unreliable. During his time in power, Northumberland and the country made huge steps towards Protestantism whilst maintaining no rebellions. This tells us that he had firm control of the country, and was allowing change in the safest of manors.
The charm of this article comes from the author’s writing style. Gladwell uses two seemingly unrelated concepts to illustrate a big picture. Overall, our evaluation of the text is positive; we consider it on the upper end of the “positive” spectrum. The text is organized in a very non-linear fashion. It is as if Mr.Gladwell is a frog jumping

The reign of Tiberius (b. 42 B.C., d. A.D. 37, emperor A.D. 14-37) is a particularly important one for the Principate, since it was the first occasion when the powers designed for Augustus alone were exercised by somebody else. In contrast to the approachable and tactful Augustus, Tiberius emerges from the sources as an enigmatic and darkly complex figure, intelligent and cunning, but given to bouts of severe depression and dark moods that had a great impact on his political career as well as his personal relationships. His reign abounds in contradictions. Despite his keen intelligence, he allowed himself to come under the influence of unscrupulous men who, as much as any actions of his own, ensured that Tiberius's posthumous reputation would be unfavourable; despite his vast military experience, he oversaw the conquest of no new region for the empire; and despite his administrative abilities he showed such reluctance in running the state as to retire entirely from Rome and live out his last years in isolation on the island of Capri.
