    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.
