Chap 5 Analysis

Chapter 5 was a good chaptetr to read. It helped give me some hope for this research paper. It will still be very challenging, and writing a 2500 word essay is something i am not good at. The first thing i found helpful was there are two types of sources of information, the primary sources, which are original texts, and articles or photos or other things that have come because of the primary source which are called the secondary sources. Both kinds of sources complement eachother, and it is interesting that when i finish this paper it will technically become a seconary source for others. Another helpful thing in this chapter was the description of solid or unusable sources, and how who their author is makes a big difference on if the source is credible or not. That is something i really have to look out for, because of my topic. My topic is interesting i just hope i can find alot of "credible" sources because its all about a hoax and not on a proven historical or scientific event. Lastly it gave a good idea to go for real people's opinions like in the form of a interview or survey. I could possibly do that, and see what percentage of students believe in the lochness monster and big foot. Overall this chapter was a big help and i will use it as a guide in the production of my paper.
