“For me, it
was a Dramatic Day” is in first person, which gives us a different point of
view. The tone of this secondary source is dramatic. It is meant to express the
relationships Kennedy had with many people. It’s meant to show his more
personal side rather than his professional side. “Kennedy Assassination” is the
primary source. Its tone is more sorrowful. Being in third person, it has more
of a story feel. This source just tells what happened and where he was buried
rather than telling the more personal side of things.
As
stated in “For me, it was a Dramatic Day”, it says, “I was destroyed. I so
admired and liked JFK.” This shows that Kennedy had a good relationship with
his staff. In “Kennedy’s Assassination”, it’s says, “John F. Kennedy was shot to
death by an assassin on November 22, 1963, as he rode through the streets of
Dallas, Texas.” This statement has no personal value and just states what
happened the day JFK was murdered.
The
primary source shows the events that occurred before, during, and after
Kennedy’s assassination, in first person. The secondary source shows the same
events, but in first person. Both sources are great sources because of the
different perspectives they both give the reader.
“JFK’s body had just arrived
in the east room…”
The sources give the same information, but they are given in different
perceptive.
