Does the creator’s attitude reflect or conflict with general attitudes at the time?

Gobbet Exercise prompts can be found in the Course Reader pp. 31 – 44. For this assignment you are required to write on TWO topics and only ONE topic can be chosen from a particular week. In short, a complete Gobbet Exercise should look something like this:

Primary Source 2 (Course Reader: Week 3 – option B) 500-800 words

To help spur the little grey cells further, here are a few example questions to keep in mind during your primary source analysis:

• What is the source being analyzed? Is it a text, an image, a video?
• What sort of material is it (journal entry, poem, song lyrics, painting, inscription, political pamphlet, documentary etc.)?
• Who created it?
• Why was it created?
• Where and when was the source created?
• What was happening concurrently in the larger historical picture (e.g. war, famine, the rise of Cthulhu) when the source was created?
• How reliable was the creator’s knowledge of the events (s)he describes?
• Is the creator biased? If so, which way? How is this shown?
• Is the creator trying to persuade the reader/viewer/listener of a particular point?
• Can anything be said about the creator’s attitude or point of view from the source?
• Does the creator’s attitude reflect or conflict with general attitudes at the time?
