Tell a story and secondary sources:
Uses the primary source to tell a story and secondary sources to fill in any details your primary source has left out and show why the story you are telling is historically significant.
Write a paper (6-8 pages) that uses the primary source(s) you found in American Notes to tell a story and secondary sources to fill in any details your primary source has left out and show why the story you are telling is historically significant. (80 points) a. Include a title, a brief introduction and page numbers. b. You must cite quotations, specific data, specific ideas or opinions you get from other sources. Citations should be numbered and noted as footnotes or endnotes[1], or noted in parentheses (Waxman, 142). A useful guide for form and style is located under Resources. Include a works cited page at the end of your paper properly citing the sources you used. You can retain the topic of this paper, but it needs to focus on the opinions from your primary source — Mary Booth (actually, the author is Gasparin and Booth is the translator).
What did Gasparin think of the outbreak of the war? Tell his story and use your secondary sources to support or oppose his opinion. In this way, your paper will show what someone who was living through the war felt about its causes.
