In this assignment you will briefly summarize the text (1-2 paragraphs), situate it within its proper historical context (3-4 paragraphs), and analyze it as a primary source (3-4 paragraphs). Assignment parameters : Responses should be 3 pages in length, double-spaced, 12-point font, with standard, one-inch margins. Any words you use other than your own, including those from the book, must be placed within quotation marks and must be cited (either in-text citations or footnotes/endnotes). Failure to quote words not your own is plagiarism. You should consider the following questions: A. Summarize the text (1-2 paragraphs). What is the general subject matter of the book? Who is the author? Describe the author’s tone. How do they feel? What was the author’s purpose in writing a memoir? B. Situate the text within the proper historical context (3-4 paragraphs). Describe the world surrounding the author’s memories. What is happening around them that influenced their life? Does the author discuss any particular event, law/s, political debates, or societal shifts that impacted their life? How does the book provide insights into this period? C. Analyze it as a primary source (3-4 paragraphs). Why was this source produced? Who is the audience? Is the source believable? Why or why not? Be specific. As a piece of historical evidence, how useful is this source? What does it help us understand about the period it describes? .
