Critical analysis of source 1

Identify the best scholarly or other relevant resource you have found for your final paper so far and write a critical analysis of the item: offer a one or two paragraph summary of the the content of the item and then write about two paragraphs discussing the critical issues regarding issues of facts and issues of evaluation/interpretation/analysis that you see in this item and how these might relate to your paper.

Be sure to give a full bibliographic entry for the item in a works cited entry at the end and, as you discuss the item, give specific in-text page references.

Your aim is to begin working out some of the material and terms of analysis for your final paper: the critical work on source materials that you do for this assignment may not figure directly in the final paper, but it should help to shape and develop your thinking about the issue and the critical question you will address in your final paper.

Your work here is like the “studies” that painters produce of individual figures or details of a larger composition: it may or may not appear directly in the finished product, but it will have served its purpose if it helps you clarify what you want to do in the final paper.
