Now that we have analyzed several types of primary sources, why do you think it is important to analyze these in the study of history?

  1. When you analyze a primary source, you are undertaking the most important job of the historian. There is no better way to understand events in the past than by examining the sources--whether journals, newspaper articles, letters, court case records, novels, artworks, music or autobiographies--that people from that period left behind.

  2. When you analyze a secondary source something may have changed, so you would have to read the primary source in order to get all the facts.

  5. When you analize primary sources, you have a 99% chance that what you're researching is legit and hasn't been edited. Secondary sources in the other hand have a 50-50 chance that you will get authentic information for your research.

  7. I think its important to analyze primary sources in the study of history because, when you only analyze the secondary source you don't get some of the main details and information you would get in the primary source. The primary source tells more important details.

  12. It's important to analyze the primary source first, because the secorndary source might have been changed or modified to one's own liking. Its kind of like stories passed on orally, they get passed on from people and those people will wanna change it to make it more interesting.

  14. I think it is important to you the primary source because it is what the real person actually said so its easier to believe .If it is secondary source( its kind of like wikipedia )its a secondary source and more of like an opinion from a person or something some one heard from something but may not be true .In science class we learned about scientific law & scientific theory .Secondary is like scientific theory it can not be proved but to some people it just what make sense .As for scientific law it has prof it comes from the person how said it its a more reliable resource.So I do think that using primary source is good for our history because it true and we need true for a history book

  15. I think is important to have a primary source than a secondary source.The primary source take us to the point gives us all the information mean while the secondary source can be completed and have some ideas that weren't really in the original piece.
    A primary source have a better idea of the topic .
