primary source analysis

please read the prompt carefully

For this assignment, you need to analyze this primary source — demonstrate that you can connect this text with relevant historical information. The following questions can guide your writing:

What do Mary Paik Lee’s observations about her parents and laborer community reflect about family, social structures, and beliefs of Korean immigrants at the time? In what ways do her family’s status and experiences reflect broader trends and characteristics of early Korean pioneers in the United States in the early-20th century?

Most importantly, you must utilize your textbook to establish historical context and integrate concrete examples from the excerpt above. Remember, when you place any primary source into context, you should be choosing relevant details rather than taking an overly broad approach to Asian American history. Also, should you choose to quote material, make sure you are not quoting excessively. The focus of your writing should be on your analysis, not how much you copied and pasted from the excerpt.

Other guidelines:

Adhere to appropriate MLA/APA formatting (Links to an external site.).
References to the textbook should include page references, if page numbers are available. You do NOT need a works cited page for this assignment.
Avoid outside research for this assignment. Classroom materials are sufficient.

For this assignment, students must write a 5-7 page research-based argument based on either The Road or No Country for Old Men, or both novels. This essay may focus on issues, topics, themes, character development, stylistic characteristics, or other e

Research Questions and Their Significance

Good history projects depend on historians posing clear and meaningful questions.  Reread the two NEH proposals you were assigned earlier in the term.  Pick one of the two sample 2100 proposals.  Can you easily identify the research questions at the heart of all three proposals?  What are they?  How do the historians writing the proposals explain the larger significance of their question and its possible answer?  What advice do you think the two history professor might offer to the student for improving the student’s question or the explanation of its significance?

Is sexuality a topic of conversation in your culture?

Does our sexuality have a taboo topic? What is it? Sex in my culture was not a topic of discussion. No one speaks of it, if we did, the assumption is that we would be more curious and want to act on it. Therefore, if we don’t talk about sex, no one would be doing it…
