This three-page analytical research paper explores in intricate detail, the following question: How should we read primary sources? This question gives rise to various other questions that are dormant behind the layers of concepts and aspects related to reading and analyzing the information coming from the primary sources. For instance, do primary sources speak for themselves? How should we read them literally so as not to obscure their original meanings? Or do we need to read them in other ways? What role does an understanding of a source's author and his or her audiences play in our reading? What about authorial motivations, perspectives, agendas and purposes? The works cited appends three documents from the Andrea/ Overfield reader as possible sources, in MLA format.
