you will read glaspell’s 1900 and 1901 newspaper accounts of the hossack trial.
these are primary sources.
you will also read part of midnight assassin: a murder in america’s heartland. this book, written in 2005, describes the murder, the trial, and glaspell’s reporting.
this is a secondary source.
how are the primary and secondary sources different? check all of the boxes that apply.
□ they discuss different subject matters.
□ they were written on different dates.
□ their subject matters are in different locations.
□ the authors gather research in different ways.
□ they take different stances on mrs. hossack’s guilt.

Explanation:

1. "They were written on different dates": The primary source (Glaspell's 1900 - 1901 newspaper accounts) and secondary source (book from 2005) have different publication dates.
2. "The authors gather research in different ways": Primary sources are often firsthand accounts (Glaspell's reporting), while secondary sources (the 2005 book) synthesize and analyze existing research, so research methods differ.
3. "They take different stances on Mrs. Hossack’s guilt": A primary source (newspaper accounts) might be more objective reporting, while a secondary source (book) could have a more analyzed or interpretive stance on the guilt.

The option "They discuss different subject matters" and "Their subject matters are in different locations" are incorrect because both sources are about the Hossack trial/murder, so subject matter (and location - related subject matter) is not different.

Answer:

• They were written on different dates.
• The authors gather research in different ways.
• They take different stances on Mrs. Hossack’s guilt.
