“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 also able to offer an inside perspective on things.

In the literary work I have studied, "A Long Way Gone: the author uses many symbols to support his main theme on oppression like the moon, the cassettes', and dreams. The author uses three ways to show his account of the events, he uses present, past and his dreams which he switches over from time to time to support his story. The moon is included in every part of the book. The author first remembers how his grandmother told him “We must strive to be like the moon.” (Beah 16) and this gives him safety. In the book when Ishmael is outside during the night he feels safe as he watches the moon.
One aspect of a character’s life in this novel that sets a great example of illusion seen as reality involves the character Jay Gatsby. Gatsby quite does not understand the difference between illusion and reality in his mind causing false reality of his life. First, this main character of this novel gives the illusion to the community that his real name is Jay Gatsby, but actually in reality being James Gatz. James was a poor boy from Mid-West who changed his identity to become a difference person and create an entirely new image of himself to be a man respectable enough to be with Daisy. In the book it states, “I suppose he’d had the name ready for a long time, even then… So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year-old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end” (Fitzgerald 104).
July 20, 1969, every American sat in front of their television screen ,if not with family and friends then with total strangers, to watch two men they have never met walk for first time on the moon.

“he’s only looking at a shadow. the real referent of the word “book” he cannot see” (Plato), but after everyone dressed the same people started seeing him for the astronomer that he was, not just an oddly dressed man, I learned that I shouldn't just follow appearances.

Having the Right Stuff: A Definition In Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff the author opens his novel by beginning with test pilots performing their day-to-day dangerous job. The over all point that he makes in the first chapter is exactly how deadly the job really is.

Using the point of view of what the wives went through made his point even that more emotional. Wolfe than continues his story by describing the dangerous job of being an astronaut in the early stages of the space race.
Ellison uses different techniques to allow one to see the story of an invisible man from the man himself. He accentuates the narrators’ thoughts so the narrators’ feelings are observed first hand. Since the narrator is a concealed character, Ellison allows the narrators thoughts to be heard after an extraordinary event. Parallel events such as the narrator getting kicked out of many of the places he gets settled into are used as a structure for this novel. Every time he establishes a stable home or comfortable workplace, he is either fired or forced to move out of where he is most comfortable.
