Primary Source Analysis

Mesoamerica

How revealing is this source of the attitudes and beliefs of the time?

This source reveals how competitive everyone was to rule certain places and to take over land. From this source, I can tell that back then, it was all about being superior.

How much change was caused/reflected in this source?

There was a lot of change for the Aztecs and Spanish since the Aztecs fell. The remaining Aztecs would have to live a whole new way of life, which could have been very difficult.

I know that many Aztecs died due to smallpox and that increased the fall. This can not help me answer if there were any Aztecs left? If so, where did they go?

I do not think anyone's perspectives are pushed aside since it is just a factual story.

This is a perspective of a historian/bystander. I know this because it is a story being told and there is no bias towards either the Spanish or Aztecs.

I do not think any ideas are left out, but this is also my first time learning about the fall of the Aztecs. tht

The fall of the Aztecs and the Spanish were brought up multiple times which makes me think that those are the most important ideas in this text.

The author simply states facts and tells the story of how the Aztecs fell to the Spanish.

It doesn't say who the author of this article is, but I assume a historian may have written this due to the document being in past tense. The historian wrote this because it is an important part of Mesoamerica's history.

What does it look like?

The Fall of the Aztecs looks like an article of some sort. Possibly out of a book or historical document.

Korea

This source reveals a lot about how bad the men wanted win their battle.

There was a big change from this source because it was the first type of ship that was very defensive and safe for the men in battle.

This helps me understand where Korea was in their construction of ships. I also getting a better understanding of what the Korean men were trying to achieve during this time.

The enemy's perspective would be omitted just because the Korean's are trying to win that war and do not want their men to die.

The turtle ships reflects the Korean men's perspective, as well as Sun-sin's. From reading about the creation of the ships, I understand that Sun-sin's goal was to keep the men safe at war.

I do not think that anything was really "left out". I think that Yi Sun-sin had thought thoroughly when creating the ship.

The big idea here is to keep the men in battle safe.

The creator of the turtle ship wanted a very safe ship for soldiers. This is shown by the hard outer layer on the ship, and how big the ship was. There were many different defensive weapons/objects on board to scare away the enemy.

The turtle ship was created by Yi Sun-sin. The purpose of this ship was to provide safety for soldiers during war. The turtle aspect comes into play because the outside of the ship was supposed to be a hard protective outer layer, like a turtle's shell.

The Turtle Ship looks like an ancient ship and reminds me a little bit of a sailboat.

Japan

How revealing is this source of the attitudes and beliefs of the time?

This source was very revealing about the attitudes and beliefs towards women in the 17th century. The author made it very clear that women were thought very low of.

How much change was caused/reflected in this source?

Compared to today, there has been a lot of change regarding women and how society thinks they should behave/live. I'm not sure if much, if any, change was caused due to this article.

Which questions can this source help me answer? Which can it not?

This article helped me further understand how men felt about women during the 17th century. A question that is not answered is why did he feel the need to write this article?

Whose perspectives are omitted/questioned/challenged?

The perspective of every woman is omitted in this article. Ekken does not care about what women think women should be like. He simply decided that his opinion was the only one that mattered.

Whose perspective does it reflect?

This reflects Kaibara Ekken's perspective on how women should behave. This article could also reflect the men's perspective during the 17th century.

What ideas are left out?

The idea that women can be independent and live for herself is left out. The whole article was about how if a women feels a certain way, she shouldn't say anything or else she is 'foolish'.

What are the big ideas?

The big idea in this article would be the five worst infirmities that women have. She does focus more in one infirmity, silliness. She also says things regarding the husband and children as if the women is living to prove herself to them.

How does the author communicate ideas?

Ekken communicates her ideas by saying that women have five bad infirmities and how they should not trust themselves.

Who wrote it? Why?

Kaibara Ekken wrote this piece because she believes that women should act or do things a certain way to please their husbands.

What does it look like?

The Great Learning from Women looks like a document or article.
