Both Sources
Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias.
The primary sources I have, have some sort of bias. They were at the front of the Iranian
revolution, so their feelings are more warranted. They have accurate information of the feelings
towards the political movement. For example, in the primary source I analyzed earlier, the
perspective is from a woman during the Iranian revolution. The speaker says about her mother,
when the Shah made the veil illegal, her mother refused to leave the house because it made her
feel naked.
Compare how your historical event is represented in your primary sources.
44 days is presented through photographs and depicts all people surrounding the Iranian
revolution. The interview for my first primary source is about women, more specifically, one
woman and her thoughts about why women supported what they did.
