Primary and Secondary Sources Comparison!!!


Primary and secondary sources both write about one subject, person, event or thing. Primary source is written in a one person point of view of the person that was there to witness the event and what happened. A few examples of primary are a dairy, a letter, and or an interview.  Secondary source is written in the persons perspective of what happened and or a summary about what happened and saw.  A few examples of secondary would be magazine articles, news paper articles and or reference books. Primary and secondary sources are helpful because, Primary, it directly expresses the thoughts and feelings or a writer. Secondary, it is based on several different viewpoints.
