“The Massachusetts Bay Colony Case Against Anne Hutchinson (1637)” being the primary source, while “Anne Hutchinson versus Massachusetts” being the secondary source, due to three of many differentiating factors. One of the few differentiating factors of a primary and secondary source is the time period. The time period in which a piece is written can greatly affect the credibility and dialogue of the script. Primary sources are often written during or close to an event or significant time in history, making the lingo and dialogue make more sense to a reader of that time period. Primary sources are also able to offer an inside perspective on things.
In a paragraph, discuss how these three essays meet the criteria for literary nonfiction. Use specific information from the content of the unit and quotations from the readings. Literary nonfiction is a form of storytelling as old as the telling of stories. It is a form that allows a writer both to narrate facts and to search for truth, blending the empirical eye of the reporter with the moral vision. The first essay written by Jaschik meets the criteria for literary nonfiction because it discusses the huge controversy of plagiarism and how it affects literature today.
Human beings write history and no matter who they are they cannot be fully objective. Trained historians try and bring as much objectivity as they can into their work but nobody can remove all amounts of bias from his or her work. (270) - How does Henry Kissinger define history? What is Howard Zinn’s approach to history, and how does his differ from the description of Kissinger’s type? Be Specific!
Author and character O’Brian tell the story in such a way to make it believable that the two different people are really the same person. His aim in the novel was intended to direct the readers more away from the technical facts and more towards the subjected facts. By doing this the reader could establish the bond between an audience and the soldier telling his story. In the end we learn “Story-truth is truer sometimes than happening –truth” (171. ), but determining what is reality and fiction can sometimes be
Since “The Things They Carried” is a collection of short stories, it automatically has multiple meanings. For some the meaning may simply be viewed as a novel of one’s life during the Vietnam War, but it is in fact much more than that. This novel explores such topics as: love, war, relationships, and the reality of the things that not only the characters but we too carry. These meanings are not direct but after reading can be discovered. The next thing that qualifies this book as a classic is the fact that it uses effective, unique style appropriate to the purpose and content.
Rome & America Can studying ancient Rome help us better understand our own culture, political system, and society? I believe that it can, as history and anthropology in general can. But what specifically about ancient Rome makes it a common analogy to America? In Are We Rome?, author Cullen Murphy argues that indeed America is a lot like ancient Rome, and the similarities are surprising. While Murphy covers a variety of subjects for comparison in his book, I have chosen to look specifically at the military similarities, which Murphy does in chapter two his book, aptly titled The Legions.
My personal rating for the film is an A because it depicts the Greek culture and displays how big and loud Greek families are. It was a really funny movie and it also demonstrates that cultures need to accept and have an open-mind of other cultures. I believe the intercultural message behind the film was the struggle between Gus in accepting Toula’s decision in marrying a non-Greek man. She is the first person to date someone who is not Greek, and now she is going to get married to him! The struggle would be with Gus because in the Greek culture, the father/husband is always the head of the house and makes all the decisions.

(pg.154) One of the most profound leaders under Julius Caesar, Marcus Cicero a philosopher who oppossed tyranny and political corruption. (pg.154) Cicero believed that monarchy, aristocracy and Democracy were the three principles of construction to a good government. (pg.155) Rome was more based on a legeslative attack, romans in the old days are more recollected for having great knowledge of the world we live in today. One of the most influential people in Rome was Marcus Cicero, a great philopsoper as we say and exam most of his work today we see a story of a honored and respected man as well as loyal, but his loyalty would prove to be his greatest downfall and which would lead to his exicution.
Benn knowingly enters a genre that is full of established works by established and accredited authors. Although rather than following into the same pattern of information delivery as most of the works on the subject Dr. Benn aims to inform and more importantly enlighten the reader to not only the facts of the conflict but also seeks to give us insight into the thoughts and actions of the participants themselves. Typical historical analyses of the events are interspersed with actual letters, newspaper articles, or writings from the
Alan Ganesh Mr. Beams Period 6 12 November 2012 Caesar:Rebuilding a Declining Empire Julius Caesar took a declining Rome and molded it into an empire that would help the Roman civilization thrive for a great period of time after his death. His entire life was dedicated to this cause and that is why his plan worked out so smoothly. His ability to lead the Roman people was set up by his childhood because of being born into a patrician family and the jobs that he was involved with in his early career. After his early career, Caesar was elected into consul where he would be able to further his political career and make small changes in Roman society. Using his consulship he gained control over small areas of land and eventually led great military
