Exercise 1.3

The document discusses using a diary as a primary source for writing a life history. It notes that a diary is a form of autobiographical writing that records an individual's daily activities and reflections. As it is written privately for the author alone, a diary provides candidness unlike writing done for publication. A diary qualifies as a primary source because it contains a personally created account of one's own experiences, thoughts, and feelings, without commentary on outside events. The author loves writing about life events and keeping it private, so a diary provides a good personal perspective for a life history.

Exercises 1.3 My Primary Source

Using the examples of the primary sources in the module, give a primary source that can
be used in the writing of your life history. Discuss how it qualifies as a primary source.

I would use a diary in writing my life history, because it is a form of autobiographical


writing that is regularly kept record of the diarist’s activities and reflections. It is
written primarily for the writer’s use alone, the diary has frankness that is unlike writing,
done for publication. It is qualified as a primary source because you created your story
personally and originally. You can also include your experiences, thoughts, and/or feelings,
excluding comments on current events outside the direct experience. I love writing the
events in my life and I always wanted to keep it by myself. Diaries also provide a personal
angle on history that’s why I think that this is the best primary source for me that is
qualified to use in writing my life history.
