Instructions for Domestic Intervention Final Paper
Analyze at least two of the primary sources you’ve read for this section together and consider what they tell you about the military/ies or about another related aspect of American life.
One key skill we’re working on here is engaging with evidence: that means quoting it and explaining what those quotations mean or reveal; the phrase “this suggests” might be useful to you.
Another skill is that of putting evidence together into a wider argument. The paper needs to be unbiased and see how both documents are connected to each other. Lastly, see the below analysis feedback and implement them to the paper.
Analysis Feedback:
-interpretation of a thing
-meant to study how things work, why people do what they do,
and what the consequences are
-Get away from what is good and bad for America
-instead, what’s interesting is: what people were trying to do. Why they assumed doing it that way would be the best way. What resulted from them doing it.
